Fluorocarbon fishing lines are known for their many great benefits including invisibility under water, abrasion resistance, and low stretch. The problem is, most have high memory and are too stiff to be used on ultralight spinning reels. If only they made a fluorocarbon line that was soft and limp enough for UL fishing. Well, they do.
Many fishing line manufacturers have been working to increase the softness and manageability of fluorocarbon lines, making them usable for ultralight fishing. The lines below are made to be soft/limp like nylon mono, but have all the benefits of fluorocarbon. Here they are:
Sunline Super FC Sniper Fluorocarbon
A 100% fluorocarbon line, it offers fishermen/women all the benefits of fluorocarbon with the softness and manageability of nylon mono. The low pound-test lines ( 6 pound test and under ) are especially great for ulralight spinning reels.

Additional Tip:
When buying Fluorocarbon line for ultralight fishing, get the lowest pound test line that you can. The line will be even more manageable due to the thinner diameter. Most fluorocarbons have a higher breaking strength than listed on the box.
Looking for a line that offers invisibility and stretch? Try a nylon monofilament line.
