Flouro is terrible about snapping with any imperfection. I went to copoly with far less of a problem.
Folks that haven't snapped flouro a lot haven't fished it much.

Berkley Vanish is junk-bought a spool and ended up using it for backing.
I've been told they have improved it from the original but I'll never go there again.

I assumed it was tongue-in-cheek. Thank you for your service. Not a job I want--either one of them.

Folks that haven't snapped flouro a lot haven't fished it much. I have fished flouro around 60 days (8+ hr. days, mostly tournament days) this year and I have had it break 3 times unexpectedly (not user error/ breaking off a hung lure) and that was caused by a bad spool of line. So I don't really agree with your last statement about not breaking it because you haven't fished it much.

When i first started using floro i hated it, broke it constantly when setting the hooks on fish ect and went back to mono on my t-rig.
I eventually gave it another try and i learned that, like most said here. You have to be more careful with flouro than mono, you have to pay attention to line nicks more, pay more attention to how the knot draws down etc.
I like it alot , now that I know how i have to treat it.
If you don't want to take the extra time to make sure your knot are in good shape when cinched, and pay attention to knick in line from brushing against structure, than mono is probably a better choice for some.

Whatever the reason Im gonna give it a few more shots. My knots are tied fine, maybe just need a different one. Anyway, lake change, partner wants to go the the vine. Im in a black and silver champ, come over and say hello if your out. Unless I just broke off on fluro again and my rod is broke in half, just keep going. Tight lines guys.
