Interesting. I will just now start using floro on one of my flipping sticks (20lb). I tied a snell knot as I always do,and curios to see some of the reply here. When u say a lot are you meaning once a trip or more?

As you said wet it good but don't pull your knot down to fast & just snug it up don't pull on it real hard when you cinch it

I have used fluorocarbon a LOT in saltwater and I do not remember ever breaking it on the set.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

There was one day in particular that I'm thinking about. My wife and I got into a school of BIG fish. She was catching em left and right on a spinning reel with 15lb mono. I was using 20lb FC and was breaking so bad I think I caught 2 out of 10 bites. I know I lost every black and blue jig I had in the boat. It was windy, and I remember thinking maybe they had it longer than I realized and they were sawing it off as I set the hook. This was with new line. I lost a big fish a few trips later doing the same thing. Maybe my drag is set way to tight? I inspected the break and it had a little curl and tapered down to a point. Sounds just like a knot issue. If you burn fluoro when you cinch it down it's done...

Fluorocarbon is great...however, one nick, pinch, snag, etc. it just got a breaking point in it. My guess is it's your knot and how you tie it...watch the video from the attached link. Best knot I have found for fluoro.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I905PXIYwwIts your knot. You are burning your line and it is breaking at the knot or just above it. This is the knot I use and you cant break it if you tie it right. The three tag ends bothered me at first but the fish don't care.

Sounds like knot issue to me
