Is Fluorocote basically coated monofilament line?

[C5Longhorn]

I recently bought some Kastking Fluorocote line to use as a leader material.  I think I want to stick with mono for my leaders.  Is Fluorocote almost the same as mono line?

 

Thanks,

No - it's fluorocarbon coated co-polymer.

From their website - https://kastking.com/collections/fluorocarbon-line/products/kastking-fluorokote-fishing-line

"It's a combination of the No.1 selling KastKing Copolymer Fishing Line with high-tech 100% fluorocarbon coating that reduces the line's visibility when immersed in water."

Like stated it is flouro coated co-polymer.  The kast king flouro clear is decent stuff.  Probably imho better than pline flouro clear, Berkley vanish, and stren flouro or best of the cheap flouro co-polymers.  
 

I have had 20 lbs kast king flouro clear spooled up on my swim jig rod since last may and I have had no problems with it at all .  I also use it as leader material for my t-rig and jig rod which has 30 lbs power pro spooled on it

Thanks, appreciate the responses.  I bought some as a leader material but will probably return and either stick with mono or add true Fluorocarbon.

It’s great stuff when you consider the price. I agree with the statements above and rank it higher than P-Line, Vanish and Stren Fluorocast all of which I have tried.
