Krystonite seems to be used alot and has a good reputation on here,not sure if it is classed as a true florocarbon though.

Ultimate.
Have used it to good effect, not sure if it is better than any other make or if it made a big difference to using mono.
Experimented last summer switching hook links from mono, fluorocarbon and coated lines.
mono and fluorocarbon both did well. The coated lines I ditched ass catch rate slowed down.

Personal preference - I'm afraid I don't like Krystonite, not because it isn't a true flourocarbon but because I've had it break on me on more than one occasion.
I use mono now, Suffix Xcelon to be precise and I am much happier with it, infact I can't fault it, supple, strong and a good diameter to breaking strain ratio.
I use Shakespeare Sightfree when I need a flouro hooklength or Korda IQ.

thanks chaps
I like the idea of a fluro mainline to get it well sunk when fishing slack lines (as I mostly do), but several people I know have had problems with it as you say Pikey. Just wondered if a wonder product was out there I haven't heard about.
Interesting point about the different hooklinks Ged. When you say 'coated lines' I presume you are talking about coated braids (mantis etc)?

Coated carbon mono.
if you want a sinking main line, good old maxima. Thick in diameter compaired to modern day lines but sinks well,

Ah, coated mono. Interesting that mono and fluro came out better. Love mono hooklinks myself - cheap, supple, strong and most people are on the coated braids so its different as well.
