Fluorocarbon

Higher density
Sinks
Near invisible
More costly

Monofilament

Thicker (provides better bite/abrasion resistance)
May be treated to float
Visibility may be an issue
Stretch (higher and can also provide shock resistance)


these are the basic differences.

FC leaders more abrasion resistant but less stretchable.
Mono is the opposite and cheaper.

Monofilament has higher line memory, which means it will bee hoon more.
Monofilament is also less resistant to UV rays than fluorocarbon.
