Define cheap?

I buy mine on-line from a guy in joburg

he sells 200 m rolls for about R280
20LB / 9.07KG 0.40MM / 0.015" .

I've been using it for a while now, tough and abrasion resistant, cant remember getting cut of on the rocks so far.

Be careful there's a few brands selling fluoro Carbon couted mono . Obviously those are cheaper , and not the real thing .

There's a difrance between solid fluoro and fluoro couted lines .

ANde , has a very good fc ,but you very pricey .

agree with Enigma

for gallies, i only use the Maxima .60.
not only for its "invisibility" but more so for its stiffness.
nothing worse than mono getting tangled up and kinked around you swivel/sinker trace, when fishing in the wash.
just my 1c

Thats interesting that you use such think Flouro, i wouls use .44 at most for Gallies is it purely from a trace not kinking point of veiw? what knots are you using for the thicker Flouro?

Yip I was just showing that they are not ripping you off.

The material used to make Fluoro is very expensive and not nearly the same as with normal mono and in the manufacture process there is a lot of wastage.

Very cheap fluorocaron lines are not pure fluoro but normally a mix. ie AwaS Fluorine, it is 70-80% Fluorocarbon and has monofilament material in it to make the manufacture easier and reduce wastage.

The cost of mixing Mono line is. only 50-70% the refraction ability of Fluoro
Softer less abrasion resistant

The pro's are price and knot tying

If you wan't what Fluoro offers , unfortunately you have to pay the bucks

the only reason is that a proper galjoen will pop your trace.

i have used .70mm and still got hammered by a fish in falsebay

personally i would never go lighter than .60- just personal preferance. i use a normal albright or fig 8

Do I understand this corectly?

A product like Double X Super Shock Leader Flurocarbon at R102 for 0.6mm X 50 m, is a product coated with Flurocarbon?


Or is it fluorocarbon ?

Thanks.
