Default Fluorocarbon leaders, anyone use them?

We don't push FC tippet or leaders on anyone but many of the top fly fishers
I know are using it including some of the cheapest guys I know.

FC tippet material is selling more every year.

One thing I like about it is the fact that it does not go bad over time so I
don't have to throw my tippet material away anymore.

It sinks faster than regular mono.

It has abrasion resistant qualities.

It does not refract light like regular mono.

As far as leaders go we don't sell many because most just worry about the
tippet part of the leader system.

In clear water many are using FC tippet material now.

Our most popular brands are Rio 'FluroFlex Plus' and Seagar 'Grand Max'.

If you never buy any it does not mean you are a bad person.

I've never used them because of price, but have been reading some great
advantages of fluorocarbon leaders. Anyone use them, are they worth
paying the extra?
