Hi
I have tried flurocarbon a couple of times but have changed every time back to maxima nylon.I have tried fulling mill and partridge flurocarbon but it keeps breaking any susgestions ?

What nots are you using? Fluro can be problematic with some nots.

i am using surgeon and clinch knots.When i tie the point fly on wet and tighten it breaks.I lost two trout last week on flurocarbon then changed back no problem .

Never had any problems with surgeon or 3 turn water knot with fluoro.(all brands)
Hook knot is 6 turn tucked blood knot, but well moistened, and pulled tight slowly, no thumb nails!, as this kinks line above knot.
catches me some big fish!
regards
bert

my mate had a dud spol of fluro, you might want to try a different spool or brand.. and like been said, plenty of spit

I have no problems with most flouro.but can't get on with Sightfree G3.

Buy the best, top 2 brands are Grand Max and Rio Fluroflex, you can get Grand Max on here cheap, i use the usual knots and never have had a breakage with Grand Max, even fishing for salmon.

I had problems with Grand Max till I stopped using blood knots for droppers and switched to a three turn water knot. That solved the problems... but then I got some Airflow Sightfree coz it was on special offer and the shop had run out of grand max in 3x... Jury is out for me but I had my first break off in years quite recently. And I absolutely hate leaving hooks in fish.

Yes i always use a 4 turn water knot for my droppers and never had any problems

Which breaking strain/X rating are you using.Maxima overtests and is very strong.It is possible if you are using the same BS fluoro as the maxima in a lower BS like 4lb or close purely as an example this could be the fault.Where are you fishing and type of trout fishing when these breaks happen.Best to go by diameter when substituting fluoro for mono tippets.
