When I use fluorocarbon, usually for booms on a SH or Ronnie I will use Rigmarole's CAMH20.

Used loads but personally prefer gardner mirage and you can get 100m spools so it lasts ages. Tried the Thinking Anglers Tint Link but not hugely impressed with that.

Seaguar ace hard in 0.285mm. I have found that I must use a Palomar knot though.

+1 for Rigmarole camH20 in all breaking strains - easy to knot / manage - no steaming nonsense required

I filled two small reels with 20lb XLine and kept the spool to make hooklinks with. Perfect for short session stalking in the edge. Bog standard hair rig, doesn't tangle, and they have problems ejecting it as I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen them get away with it. Sometimes simple is best.

Used seaguar ace hard for years, since swapped to TA tint link and crimp link and have been great.
Are you sure?
