Think i got a bad batch of that, snaps very easily under pressure.

Anyone used seaguar soft plus.
I currently use frog hair flouro 8.8 lb amongst others but always looking for something more flexible especially around .2 mm diameter. I find knot strength on the frog hair is fine and the seaguar also performs well in the tests I've read, but I was wondering how it compares softness wise.

I use this in the 24.2lb breaking strain for my leaders and it's superb.
It also makes a great boom section material..

Thanks, Should have said it's mainly for surface fishing but same principles apply. Just need good knot strength and as flexible as possible.

I've used it trout fishing in 10 & 12lbs, is strong and thin and it performs admirably. Not sure if I'd use it if I wanted to fish on or just under the surface as it sinks to well when it gets going. I'd use a co-polymer line. You can get lighter breaking strains of fluorocarbon (eg 4lb) to float, but these are are probably too light for your needs. Having said that, I did catch a 12lb carp on 4lb line whilst float fishing with a worm yesterday. Haven't had as much fun playing a fish in ages. It coped with going through my carp lines and knocked back Canadian weed. It's been on the reel for at least 8 years (I know, I need to get out on the bank more). Time for a re-spool me thinks!
You could try greasing the line with - say, Mucilin. Drennan double strength in 10lb is supposed to be good, but that is a co-polymer (I think). I take it the invisible nature of fluorocarbon is also an appeal while floater fishing?

That sounds interesting I think that's going to be worth a try, thanks.
I've used copolymer quite a lot and I've had good success using it as a 3 to 4ft hook link. Also used
8.8 lb frog hair fluoro but it's a little stiffer than I would like, however at that diameter it does sink or float as required so I expect Seaguar should do the same.
I often deshine / degrease the last 18 inches or so, then it's subsurface and avoids the meniscus being seen in high light levels, so yes the reduced visibility of the fluoro is the attraction.
Depending on where I fish I either use a mono 10lb main line with a few ft of 8lb ish hook link or 15lb main normally with 10 to 13lb hook link if space is tight. Probably try the Seaguar for the lighter setup first.
Yes I think you've had your money's worth out of your 4 lb line and it is surprising how little would turn a fish but as you say I think 4 lb would probably be a step too far.
