Ads7633 Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 I'm transitioning a finesse setup to braid, so I need a good leader in 6-8lb. I will only be using this line for leaders on this setup and I would like something that won't break the bank. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted December 26, 2015 Super User Posted December 26, 2015 Something that won't break the bank will be Yo-Zuri Hybrid, or P-Line Floroclear. I use both from 4 to 15 lbs as leaders on all of my spinning/casting setups. 1 Quote
Dypsis Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I use 8lb sniper to 20lb braid. For me I only put on about 6' at a time so a spool last a LONG time. Well worth it IMO. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 27, 2015 Global Moderator Posted December 27, 2015 I just use whatever I have laying around a lot of the time. Usually just save a spool once there isn't enough line to spool another rod and use that for leader material. Pline C21 makes a great leader material. 1 Quote
PitchinJigz Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I use either 7lb Sunline FC sniper or Yo-Zuri Hybrid 6lb. 1 Quote
Turkey sandwich Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I fish hybrid as a leader pretty often, but not typically on my finesse rods. When I think finesse, I think small diameter and super limp. Hybrid in 6-8lb is comparable to 8-12lb lines in both diameter and strength, and while it's super abrasion resistant, it's not very limp. I use 7lb Sniper as my typical go to, but Seaguar Invisx is also a great option and not super expensive. Quote

Like I said I'm only using let's say 8' per leader tied. So one spool lasts me a season or 2. I personally really like snipers sensitivity. It might be a little more expensive but as I said a single spool lasts a while so the cost is worth it. 1 Quote
Super User deep Posted December 28, 2015 Super User Posted December 28, 2015 Go with a good mono/ copoly in the correct diameter. I use Sufix Elite/ Siege. Quote

I use the Sniper because I can get it in 7# test, seems 6 is too small, 8 too big, OK I'm strange. 1 Quote
