Nylon or fluorocarbon for fly fishing?

Advantages

• - It sinks thanks to its density being greater than water.
• - It is less visible underwater.
• - It stretches less and therefore transmits information better and more quickly.
• - It does not absorb water and has superior tensile strength.
• - It has better abrasion resistance.

Disadvantages

• - It is more brittle.
• - It has more "memory".
• - Knots are more difficult, especially in larger diameters.

In summary

Fluorocarbon is perfect for nymph fishing or any other fishing where abrasion resistance or sharp teeth (pike, etc.) are paramount.
