Junk Fisherman Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 What do you think is the best leader line (w/braid) for fishing in rocks? I have been using P-Line Fluorocarbon but I am looking for something better. Thanks for any advice. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted October 24, 2016 Super User Posted October 24, 2016 Look at fluorocarbob "leader material". Its deisned slecifically for leader use and is more abrasion resistant. 2 Quote

Turkey sandwich Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 For rocks and particular nasty stuff, I use Hybrid and it's never let me down. The stuff is tough. Ridiculously tough. Quote

I looked at the Sunline leader line and it promoted the stretch in the line to absorb shock which is not my primary concern. I am concerned with abrasion resistance first and foremost. Thanks Quote
Super User webertime Posted October 24, 2016 Super User Posted October 24, 2016 Orvis Leader Material http://www.orvis.com/p/mirage-tippet-material/2ffl or Seaguar Blue Label. If you wanted a spool of line that is tough as nails and to occasionally use as a leader, then Abrazx is great. 1 Quote
junyer357 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Ive been very pleased with seaguar blue label. Its usually $8 or so for 25yds on amazon, but occasionally less depending on #test. It is stiff soo you have to watch it if it bends hard but has held up well to abrasion for me. I use an albright to the braid and the "shaw grigsby youtube" knot to hook. I used to use remaining end of spools of regular flouro for leaders but after trying the actual leader material i can tell a diffrence. 1 Quote

Attila Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 I've used InvizX for the last year without any issues, and after seeing Zaldain pull some decent sized fish out of timber I think I'm going to stick with it to use on my squarebill / crankbait setup next year. Attila Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 25, 2016 Super User Posted October 25, 2016 If you want to use the best line for tough leaders, use LEADER line, not reel fill. Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader Material is what I use. It's much tougher than any reel fill I've ever used. Quote

Super User J Francho Posted October 25, 2016 Super User Posted October 25, 2016 The heavier sizes may affect a crankbait. If you're worried about northerns, use something like coated, tie-able line like Cortland Toothy Critter. I use heavy fluoro for jerk bait leaders. Get a crimping tool and crimp locks if you go that route. You won't be able to tie 80# leader. 2 Quote
