Ditto regarding the loosing less flies comment. With mono, I snap them off all the time. Using 4x Mirage, the hooks straighten before the line breaks. Have no problem puttin' the wood to a hooked fish with flouro. Lots of confidence once hooked. Has nothing to do with invisibility factor, however.

fly: Very light artificial fly fishing lure of which there are two types: the dry fly which isn't supposed to sink the way it just did; and the wet fly, which shouldn't be floating up on the surface like that. An Angler's Dictionary.
