Product Information

Full details

Designed for serious anglers who demand discretion, the Preston Innovations Reflo Fluorocarbon line is an excellent choice for clear water conditions where fish are easily spooked. This high-performance line offers the perfect balance of stiffness and invisibility, making it ideal for delicate feeder and pole hooklengths, though users should be mindful that its increased stiffness requires careful knot selection compared to softer monofilament alternatives.

FAQs

Is this line suitable for main line use?

While it can be used for various purposes, it is primarily optimized and marketed as an ideal material for pole and feeder hooklengths.

Which diameter should I use for roach?

For smaller species like roach, especially in clear canals, the thinner diameters between 0.08mm and 0.10mm are recommended.

How do I store the line?

Keep the spool in a dark, cool place to protect it from UV degradation and moisture exposure.

Can I use this for carp fishing?

Yes, the thicker diameters like 0.20mm and 0.22mm are designed to handle the rigors of carp fishing on commercial venues.

Is it completely invisible underwater?

Fluorocarbon has a refractive index very similar to water, making it nearly invisible compared to standard monofilament, which drastically increases your chances with shy fish.

Troubleshooting

Knot slipping or coming undone

Ensure you are using a knot suitable for fluorocarbon and always moisten the line before tightening to ensure a secure bond.

Line twisting during use

Check your swivel connections to ensure the line is not building up torque; consider using a high-quality barrel swivel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior stealth in clear water environments
  • Reduces frustration by minimizing tangles during repeated casts
  • Stiffness provides a direct feel for bite detection
  • Wide range of sizes for species-specific targeting

Cons

  • Stiffer material requires extra care when tying knots
  • Not as supple as some soft nylon lines
  • Limited to 50m per spool

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best performance from this fluorocarbon, ensure that you lubricate your knots with saliva or water before pulling them tight, as this prevents heat friction from weakening the material. Because the line is stiffer, stick to reliable, low-profile knots like the Grinner or a blood knot, and trim tag ends closely to maintain the anti-tangle integrity of your rig. Store the spool in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the fluorocarbon polymers. Always check the line for nicks or abrasions after catching larger fish, as fluorocarbon can occasionally hold memory or damage if dragged over sharp rocks or shells.
