I started using fluorocarbon last year and began to have a lot more success. Because it's more expensive I ended up using Trilene XT as a backer with a fluorocarbon leader of at least several feet (with FD knot).

First I tried the Berkley Vanish and it wasn't so great. Then I went to the Seaguar red label. While it's definitely better the stuff breaks way too often. I mostly fish soft plastics, usually with a texas rig and 1/8oz bullet weight. The movement of the bullet weight is fraying the fluorocarbon causing it to unexpectedly snap. And it almost always happens mid-cast.

Is there a better fluorocarbon that is more abrasion resistant? I'm about to re-spool my reels completely. So if there's a better fluorocarbon I'll buy it. And I may use braid as a backer this time.

Thanks.
