P-Line Fluorocarbon
Because it has a refractory index close to that of water making it nearly invisible when used for a tippet or leader , fluorocarbon line has been used by fly anglers and bonefish anglers alike for a long time . Salmon and steel-
head anglers are also very aware of the unique properties of fluorocarbon .
One of the strongest fluorocarbon lines on the market is the P-Line Fluorocarbon which uses the highest quality Japanese fluorocarbon for great knot strength . With inherent
low stretch it increases sensitivity to feel the slightest bite and since it is hard to see underwater makes for a great leader when fishing in clear waters .
