Fluorocarbon

I hear quite regularly people saying for a certain lure or technique that fluorocarbon is a must. I don't understand this comment. I have fished for many years and never had trouble catching fish before this kind of line came out. I fished a tournament last weekend that the bites were extremely soft but I still had no problem detecting them with mono. I have tried different brands of fluorocarbon and different knots but have not found a combination that has a strong enough knot to hold up on hookset. I understand there are certain advantages to it but to me its knot strength is a deal breaker. So does anyone know why this line is a must?
