mii11x Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Hi guys, I've noticed that my stock of flouro leader material for my plastics fishing has almost come to an end, so its time to buy more. I've had my spools of leader for a few years and are Berkley Vanish Flouro 8, 10, 14, 17, 20lb. I've never had any issues with the brand, but curious to know what brands you guys recommend or not recommend. I fish estuaries/rivers both boat and landbased mainly the Georges River, target species include bream, flathead, EP's, mulloway. Only just started concentrating on bream of late, so I'll be needing to lower the line class for a little more finesse now, guessing around 2-4lb. More often than not though I'd be targeting mulloway. Cheers Mick
Blood Knot Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I use a bit of Nitlon particularly in the 4lb & 6lb and have had no probs with it. Sure everyone will have their own favorite fluoro Cheers Blood Knot
Ryder Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I have had problems with FC Rock. It starts on the second half of the spool. I had it replaced, and I was ok for a while, but the problems started again in the second half of the spool. It just wasn't up to the 6lb breaking strain, more like 2lb. It was never exposed to sunlight/ chemicals. I have switched to Nitlon, and so far so good.
Guest 4myson Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) I love using the Berkley vanish in Gold & Crimson red , Brillant Stuff ! Are you using the Berkley Vanish in Gold or Clear or Red ?? Edited September 7, 2015 by 4myson
The Iceman Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Ive never had a problem with FC rock and have used it for several years mainly in 4lb 6lb 10lb 16lb and 20lb I changed to FC rock because I was having problems with vanish breaking without much pressure
rockfisherman Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Nitlon is my favourite for the lighter stuff, have used vanish and fc rock also... Then fc rock for 16, 20 and 30lb Harry

Nolongeramember Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I like YGK Nitlon for up to 15lb. It's getting a bit hard to find these days which is annoying.
big Neil Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I use Vanish up to 10lb for s/p fishing in the estuaries and it's fine. Neil.
