Lines, Braids » Fluorocarbon

Fluorocarbon is an advanced version of monofilament, which is a popular type of fishing line. It is mainly divided into leader fluorocarbon, used to create leaders and end rigs, and it is also available as a main line used on reels.

Its most important advantages are remarkable abrasion resistance, high specific gravity, and virtually zero visibility in water. Thanks to these features, the creation of carp rigs using fluorocarbon has become very popular and it is primarily known among carp anglers for this application.

Abrasion Resistance - An important aspect especially when fishing in technically challenging waters with an abundance of sharp rocks, fallen trees, or mussels. Fluorocarbon can be several times more resistant to abrasion than regular monofilament lines.

High Specific Gravity - As a result, fluorocarbon excellently hugs the bottom of the waterbody without spooking the feeding fish.

Low Visibility in Water - This is what sparked the major entrance of this material into the fishing market. Due to its structure, this material refracts sunlight in a way that prevents light reflections, resulting in a practically invisible material in the water, which definitely spooks fish less than standard fishing line.
