    Yep I slobber it up good before I cinch it. I use a polamar knot. Haven't had any trouble while using it as a leader.

    Don the knot is the problem, tie an improved clinch knot. I had the same bad luck and switched knots and love floro for the feel. No more problems. I am using Invenix (sp) good line.

    Just like ZX150 said, your knot is probably the problem...Fluoro doesn't do as well with knots that have a lot of friction...I use 20lb Invizx when fishing plastics or jigs, and haven't had a bit of problem out of it....In fact, more times than not I wind up with the boat anchored down when I get hung up...I've heard guys talk about how bad the lighter Seaguar products break, including the 15lb line...Try you a spool of 20lb Invizx with a different knot, and if you're still not happy, then go back with the mono...I set the hook very aggressively and occasionally broke 20lb Pline CX Premium, but don't have that problem with the Invizx
