I'm like fg where I mostly use flouro. I use 4x for streamers and 5x for nymphing and 6x for dries. I tried using 7x and it was just me getting pissed off and snapping knots all day. I like 6x flouro for dries because you don't have to worry about the perfect mend as much, and you don't have to use as much Tippett (especially on a furled leader) Plus all those folks who say the flouro sinks and will pull your fly underwater are wrong, if you use gink and cast off the water it will float just fine. Even on a 22 griffiths. Using invisible line only seems to make sense. And the cost isn't that much more than mono. You can buy the sportsmans brand for $6.99 or buy a larger spool of trilene 4lb for about $12. Just my two cents
