Fluro carbon line

I've never tried it,but just sent for some.
Going to use it for rigs.
The make is japanese-'Take'
Is it hard to tie?
My main line will be 30lb Braid,I've ordered 28lb breaking strain fluro.
It says it's memory free and near invisible.
Thought it would be more abrasion resistant and give a flatter rig presentation.
Probably use it on a sliding or locked in ledger rig.
Anyone had any results using it?

What I can tell you is keep it way from your mouth  always cut fluoro with scissors, or tighten with a knot puller of some sort, because it is not mouth friendly. I've only used ( lighter breaking strains) in fly fishing ( which I've not done much of) its not as easy to knot as mono.

Haha,I gave up using my teeth years ago
I use nail clippers or braid scissors to cut the line.
I've just got a new Shimano 6000 baitrunner reel,and loaded it with Shimano 20lb line.I may swap back over to 30lb braid depending on how it behaves.

I got the line in the post,the diameter is 3/10 of a mm.and the breaking strain is 28lb.Like you said,it would make a good fly leader.
Apparently,the best knot is a Uni Knot with the line passed thro' the hook eye twice instead of once.
It's amazing how strong the line is for such a small dia.
