I have a slight problem maybe one of you could help me with....I had purchased a few spools of Fluorocarbon in the 60, 80, and 100 lb sizes. I also have spools of mono line in the same box...... I do not know which spools are Fluorocarbon and which are Mono... Is there a way of telling them apart?? this was an expensive mistake...Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Mike

The Fluorocarbon should be a stiffer material.....best I can do!

Should be able to SEE the difference. The fluorocarbon is really CLEAR when compared to mono. Best I can do.

Fluoro will sink and mono will float.

Fluorocarbon should be thinner as well.

Just to let you know.....Fluorocarbon and Mono both float, until covered with water then they sink, so I still can not see the difference between them...????
