Puggz Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Invisx or Super FC Sniper for use on MH crankbait rods (casting) and JWR leader material. They are about the same price for a 660 spool where I am. Any preferences? Quote
Super User webertime Posted March 28 Super User Posted March 28 Sniper is a little harder and less stretchy. It wouldn't be a proper post if I didn't suggest one you aren't looking at. Daiwa J Flouro is pretty sweet too. 3 1 Quote
softwateronly Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Sniper has served me well as a leader; thin, strong, and works well with fg/sdj knots. I can see the manageability issues though as it coils pretty good on my 20-30' leaders. scott Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted March 28 Global Moderator Posted March 28 I use Sniper for most everything, however I suggest you use neither. You’ll be better served using leader material specifically made for that purpose. Sniper and InvisX are great used as a main line as they are intended Mike 1 1 Quote

That is what I would recommend for sure. It’s one of the best on the market and has been proven to be worth it. Mike Quote

Looking at 10lb, have to contend with zebra mussels and rock on deep current ridden marina harbors. I retie often. scott Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 29 Super User Posted March 29 Why use FC? Maxima Ultra Green copoly 8# (.010D) or 10.# (.012D) has very high abrasion resistance and stronger knot strength, try a filler spool before buying bulk spools. Tom 1 Quote

Super User WRB Posted March 29 Super User Posted March 29 Stretch is equal higher density is correct. Tom Quote

I'd say slightly harder than sniper 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 29 Super User Posted March 29 The highest abrasion resistant FC that I have found is Sunline Shooter. Diawa J Fluoro is close to Tatsu in performance. Consider Seaguar AbrazX for abrasion resistance, I have no experience with AbrazX only used Tatsu. Tom Quote
