Are you sure FC will degrade? The article in the flyfishing mag I read
said it will NEVER degrade. They also said that fish get caught in
snagged off leader. They werent anti FC, they were for it saying how
great it is. They just mentioned that as one con.

How long have you been fishing? Have you *EVER* seen a fish snagged in FC or
mono? I sure as hell haven't. If I use FC, I use it as a tippet, and tie on
less than two feet. In the waters I've fished, I have never seen FC *or* mono
loose in the water, much less snagging fish.
