Brandon Khoo:
Hi Matt - I've been away for the last week fishing!
I've personally never been a big fan of fluorocarbon but I am much more of a popper fisherman than a jigger. It's very expensive and I am not convinced it is necessary for heavy jigging.

Greg Burt:
I usually use Duel HD FC on my heavy jig rig for its high strength to diameter [150 lb rating / 80 lb thickness], if this is actually more abrasion resistant I can't say but it seems 'tougher' than standard FC and a lot tougher than mono.
 At the moment I'm also using FC as a 800mm bite leader on my twisted leaders as well and also have been happy giving them a go jigging. ;D
 In saying all this about FC most guys I jig are happy using mono windons [lazy buggers]. ::) ;)

PS: HD FC is a lot dearer than std FC, which makes for very expensive leaders, but it works for me as I don't seem to change leaders often, which gives me confidence in my system.

Jay Burgess:
I'm not sure it is really necessary for popping and jigging, and like Brandon mentioned it is pretty expensive.

I'm sure there are other kinds of fishing though, particularly ones that require a bit more finesse that fluorocarbon has it's place.

I'm going to give it a go this year on barra, see if it improves my catch rate.
