For what it's worth (and that's not likely much) it's not mono and IF you fish it like it is you'll likely have problems, with it's virtually no stretch qualities, "something" has to either make up for that (loosen drag) OR "give"...... (which IMO is true with all "superlines" including braid/fireline)

It's important (again IMO) to wet the line much more on most knots with flouro , have the drag much looser than with mono so the "shock factor" isn't in play (and with fireline/braid, less "ripped lips") There is SO much stretch with mono (as anyone ever been hung on rocks knows very well ) you can get away with more mistakes on drags, rod tension etc. (because the stretch takes up the pressure--superlines don't stetch much (if any) ...

While I'm no "expert or pro" I do spend quite a bit of time on the water with both flouro and fireline/braids......

Once I figured out these "superlines" also have their own limitations and those have to be respected, (and I remember to check drags and ample spit on the knots) I've personally found them a valuable addition to my fishing ( I fish quite a bit for walleye and smallmouths where they certainly have their place again IMO) when I fish it like mono I have "issues" , which are IMHO my own fault...
