Love the Rio stuff. Yes the extra coin for fluro is worth it. Seems to get nicked up less than mono. Better strength in equal sized diameter when compared to mono if I recall correctly too.
To the post that said fish don't notice The difference between 5x and 6x.........30+days a year for the last 7 years has shown me the opposite. Me and my fishing partner aka my pops have tested it countless times. We fish The same rod, same Rio gold line, same leader and he will tie on 5x and me 6x, same fly.....smaller tippet will catch more fish every time. To the point I've seen the 6x hooking up 5 to 1 some nights. We will switch rods, keep fishing The same spots we were prior to switching rods and the catch rate will flip flop.
