Billhouk,

Wow, now that is interesting. One of the so called bad points about fluorocarbon is that it will last almost forever, in or out of the water. I have never experienced any cracking. As for getting discolored, I assume that can happen, but it would have to be something really strong in the water to cause it. I sure would not eat any fish from that water until you have the water checked. With mono yes, but not fluoro.
