    Flourocarbon

    Fluoro Hi All, You have to remember that Krystonite is a coated line and not a true fluorocarbon,I have used it for years on the Trent and never had a problem,the trouble with line is one mans meat is another mans poison and once you become confident in it you tend to stick to that brand.I...
