Length: 9ft Size: 16LB 20LB 22LB 24LB 26LB -Super Deal Price ------- What's the Difference Between Monofilament and Fluorocarbon Leaders and Tippet? Monofilament, more specifically nylon monofilament, has been the standard leader and tippet material for decades. It has neutral buoyancy in water and tends to float which makes it ideal for fishing dry flies. However, nylon monofilament is water-permeable and absorbs water over time which weakens the material. Beyond its low price and wide availability, monofilament's main attributes are its excellent knot strength and elasticity, acting as a shock absorber when setting the hook and playing fish. Fluorocarbon is a (relatively) new leader and tippet material that has gained huge popularity among anglers for its low-visibility and high abrasion resistance. With a higher density than water, fluorocarbon slowly sinks which makes it perfect for fishing nymphs and streamers but not ideal for dry flies. While fluorocarbon is two to three times more expensive than monofilament, it is known to last much longer without breaking down or losing strength.
