Looking for a good fluorocarbon that is supple and strong for my reels any recommendations 
20lb x-line for me. Tried the Berkeley stuff in 15lb and after 6months it deteriorated to a point you could snap any knot like cotton. Might have been a dodgy batch but I went back to X-line.

Another vote for x line from me, have used for some years now and it's certainly proved up to the job

Think I have to agree. My first few usages of cf600 was great..... Then fished Oct / Nov with new line all good....... Used next the following July and it was really quite bad and was breaking up a bit too often. I stripped yards and yards off in case I had ran through some snags / branches etc but made no difference.
I may be heading back to x line that i never had any issues with for years, only grabbed berkley when I couldn't get the x I wanted, it was initially good so stuck with it (new spools though)

20lb xline for me. have found it bullet proof and used for the last 15 years on an off.
Even use it on my Castizms and it has behaved fine. Does benefit from occasionally stretching and walking out any twist.

I think you may be disappointed if your primary requirement for a flouro is for it to be supple .
Im now on Tiger in 16lb and it is the best ive used. Needs a stretch quite often and a clean. It is far from supple tho.
