Question on a personal observation...
The other day, while watching a fishing program on TV, they were doing an advertisement on a certain brand of fluorocarbon and did a demonstration of how it will disappear under water by having a glass of water on a table and took a piece of their line with a lure tied on it and dipped the lure into the glass of water and it did seem to disappear. This inspired me to do the same thing, so, I took 3 different brands of fluorocarbon, tied a subsurface fly on them and dipped them into a glass of water and all three fluorocarbon lines were very visible looking at them through the glass. I even tried mono to see how much more visible it was and and did not notice a difference between it and the fluorocarbon.
Are we assuming that fluorocarbon disappears under water due to the marketing hype and there is not that much difference between it and mono? I am not making any statements here based on my limited experiment, but, just wondering if anyone else has tried this and what their results were?

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
