alvillanova Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Hi raiders, just wondering what fluorocarbon leader brands are u guys using, japanese brands....after a good quality leader in 30lb for snapper..
Catchin Jack Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I use Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon leader, check it out at our sponsors website Pure Fishing
Ray R Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Hi, I use Sunline FC Rock, I have it in 6,8,10,16,20,30lb and it is good stuff. The 20 and 30 takes a battering around the rocks and seems to have good abravise qualities..
bharris Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Black magic in hard cant go past it and sunline is good stuff to as ray said
A.dawg Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 also a fan off sunline but different people hav different opinion u just hav to try them. I dont like black magic fluro's though they are very stiff...
ishuffle Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Alberto, I've just tried a new Japanese brand, Kureha - Seaguar Fluro Carbon leaders. Went for for the seaguar 130 (130 meters) in 4/8/20/32lb. High quality plus they are very well packaged for storing away! Thanks Phil Edited March 21, 2011 by Fezza non sponsor link removed.
iMick Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I've used Nitlon, Sunline, Blackmagic, Vanish, plus other brands, and I reckon they are all work fine. Recently, I bought a 275 yard spool of 4lb fluoro for $30 bucks and it appears the same as the smaller leader spools that can be bought for about $20. If Bream guys can fish fluoro all the way through, with no "leader" then it's good for me. I've noticed no change in hook up rate. Someone in the industry told me it comes off the same machine, another person told me there is a difference in how hard the material is. It works, and saves you money. You just need to get a razor and cut a little catch in the plastic spool. Mick
spizza Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Hi raiders, just wondering what fluorocarbon leader brands are u guys using, japanese brands....after a good quality leader in 30lb for snapper.. I'm a big fan of Berkley Vanish, Moimoi and recently on a heavier leader scale I've been using Black Magic.
luderick -angler Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I swore by Froghair when you could get it then moved on to Yamatoyo very tough line, have tried Seagur and Rockfish and cannot complain, Siglon is good and tough as well.
JET01 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 what ever you do, don't touch rovex. It frays when merely tieing knots. I've been using Vanish in 10lb for flatties and it does a great job.
rockfisherman Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Nitlon. I bought it to try out...and was impressed with its strength and abrasive resistance. I dont think I can go back to anything else...
bassboy888 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I have to agree with sunline FC rock. I use it in the 4lb and 10lb and it works quite well
luderick59 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 i use seagur 4lb off the rocks for blackies cant believe the strenth of it peter
cut_loose Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I use Vanish in 6lb and it's been great, been using Sunline FC rock in 8lb and 14lb and it's been even better then Vanish, but the best fluro i've used is platypus fluro in 4lb, it just won't break, and it's so thin !
