    Fluoro Damaged?

    Had my boat uncovered for about 5-6 days trying to let it dry out before covering it and the container I had my fuoro in was full of water - Any views as to whether the line is compromised?

    It should be fine. Fluoro isn't supposed to absorb water like mono does, so there *should* be no issues. Pull some off the spool and take a look at it, run it through your fingers. If it has a chalky texture, you'll probably want to toss it or at least try it on a practice day to see how it holds up before trusting it. If it feels rough, just toss it.
