    Question tying with flourocarbon?

    After reading raw69's post about tying with monofilament, I got to thinking about flourocarbon. It seems to me it is more pliable and I would think that it would work better but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

    thanks in advance,
    hNt

    PS I'm thinking about using it for ribbing though I'm sure there are other applications as well. thanks

    I wouldn't waste fluoro for ribbing when mono does just as good (probably a tiny tiny bit better, due to stretch), for less than half the price.

    If you use too much fluoro on a fly, the fish won't see it.
