Comparing a fluorocarbon and monofilament lines can not only tell us if there is a difference in performance. It also tells us how much better one maybe than the other. Fluorocarbon is infamously known for its abrasion-resistant properties that come with it being more sensitive than most other lines on the market today. Compared to braided lines, fluorocarbon lines has a fast sinking rate. It's also great for baitcasters because fluorocarbon is one of the best lines for making long casts. Fluorocarbon resists water absorption and retains its strength over time.  That being said, Fluorocarbon lines are stiffer than regular monofilament lines. This stiffness can cause some problems in both baitcasting and spinning reels.
