I use 12 to 15# flouro on all lures except top water which I use 12# mono. The main reason for that is flouro sinks and mono floats.

It is florouclear. 4 lb test though. Never use anything bigger than 8 lb even for bigger species. I guess seeing as how I have 600 yards I'll definitely give it a go. Hopefully my experience will be better than yours. Definitely noticed that every time I tie on a fluorocarbon it seems like they just fray too easily. Or at least that's been my observation. (I typically use nothing but micros)If it's flourclear you won't be happy with it. Terrible abrasion resistance and breaks easily. If it's for flipping I spool about 50 yards of sun line shooter fc. I like 25 lb. Tough stuff. Use whatever is on reel for backer. It's probably 20 lb big game, which isn't a bad flipping line if your using a real stiff rod and stout hookset

Wetting your knot is crucial with flourocarbon. A palomar knot works well. This might help.
I use mono on everything mainly because I am a recreational fisherman and flouro can break the bank in a hurry if you're not careful. If you pre-stretch mono line right after you spool it you'll find that the performance of mono will improve significantly. If I lose a fish or a bite occasionally I'm fine with it though.
