Hey Praznik,

A far as I am concerned Flourocarbon line is a waste of money when spooling a reel for daily use. I have used it for leaders but I would never use it to spool a line. True flourocarbon is very rigid, blends are more flexible but in my opinion, standard mono is all anyone every needs.
Besides, flourocarbon is brutal on the environment. It takes decades for that stuff to break down.

I agree with Reaction Baits, Flouro is expensive and I would
never spool the entire reel with it. If you want more than a leader
spool maybe 2/3 with mono first, then finish it off with flouro.
Or like many people do, use it as a leader material when needed
like in crystal clear waters, etc. Other than that, use the other
stuff.
