Thanks, lure buddy. I read the report and was surprised. Think I'll stick with braid.
"nolo" non-competitive multi-species angling

Fluoro will carry light as well, so if you fish are actin skittish they might wonder why you lure has a spot light on it. I use braid to fluoro with a double uni

I absolutely cant stand flourocarbon, I have tryed three different brands and all it does is break on hookset. As far as memory, there is not another line that has more, I could pour a gallon of KVD line conditioner on it and it still ends up like a slinky. The only technique I have found where it excels is a rattle bait where a fish usually just loads the rod.

Flouro line will cut itself, the knot is half the battle with Flouro. I have a rod i use to walk a small lake, it has had 14 lb flouro on it for 3 months and still lays straight without any curls from memory. I have also only broken once with a hookset about 2 weeks ago and that was partially because i had a med/heavy rod with too light of flouro and fish was too close to the boat when i slapped a hookset.

If you do use it, don't fill the reel full, that seems to help with the backlashes.
