I dont use Flouro straight through but here are my imagined benefits

No tying leader knots - a bit more stretch in the system to absorb lunges - no braid to spook the fish before the lure gets to them etc

^^^ What YD said partially. Not sure on the spooking of fish with braid but definitely the no leader knot and the 'stretch' factor. Regards, HBt.

Fluorocarbon also sinks which might help if you're fishing SPs with very light jigheads.I've tried it and liked it although found it became very twisty, might have been a characteristic of the brand I was using.
