I'm not sure what it is or where it sits between fluro and mono. Anyone had any experience of using it for fly or course fishing? I tried some Wychwood fluro whilst trout fishing t'other day in 6lb and was impressed, mind you, I did blank. Cheers, Andy F

I bought some IQ Soft at the beginning of last season, but never got to fish rivers low or clear enough to warrant using it. In my opinion most fluorocarbons such as IQ and Illusion, offer better abrasion resistance than standard monos or copolymers, they are certainly stiffer with a harder coating. They are also much heavier and as a hooklength will sit on the riverbed better than mono. Andy,i think but dont quote me. Copolymers are the next stage on from monofilament. I think they use a combination of polymers (rather than one) to acheive better abrasion resistance, lower diameters, increased knot strength etc. I may be wrong;it has been known. . Wurzel

Not a fan of Braided hooklengths, just don't feel confident using them and my catch rate is much higher using Fluro. Cheers Paul M......

Yes, a truly excellent material that I'll get around to using once again after I've called the men in white coats round to give me frontal lobotomy.

I can see any fluro in the water, so I reason that if I can see it so can the fish, as for it being more abrasion resistant I've never found that to be true either. Ultimately if you have confidence that it has improved your catch rate, then in some ways it may well have done so but I doubt it has anything to do with it being invisible, also if a fish can see your line then it sure as hell can see your hook, beads, swivels, lead, etc.

However I have found you need to make sure you tighten a knotless knot well, as they can spring loose. One reason I prefer fluoro is that it is very easy to see if it has been damaged. In fact I have found braid to be a less reliable material. Probably my fault, as I change flouro links with any suspicion, but find it difficult to assess the condition of a thin braid hooklink. cheers Paul

But to me it just shows a lot of you like useing it and i will carry on when fishing clear water. May get some X-Line or P-Line and try as it has some very good reveiws and sounds a little more supple is this true. Tight Lines and Happy Barbel Fishing.Nigel (For the new season)
