Neil what pattern of hook are you using? i found that with a straight eyed hook the fluoro snapped a couple of times over the eye...With a knotless knot
Straight eyed hooks and knotless knot are a problem both with fluoro and mono, that's why I tend to use a combi-rig, the braid is far more resistant to the sharp bend over the eye.
The Drennan Continental Boilie hook is excellent as the eye is offset, pity they don't come in sizes smaller than 8.
