Fluorocarbon Leaders
Submitted by Dale on Mon, 2016-10-24 20:03
I've got a couple of reels I need to top shot the braids with some fluorocarbon leaders, probably a couple of different sizes from 5 to 10 kilos. So what is a good quality line these days without spending a million bucks?

heaps
sunline fc rock flurocarbon
shimano ocea flurocarbon '
black magic flurocarbon and plenty of others but i have never had a problem with these three the black magic 40lb fc is very soft and easy to tie good strong knots with all for around $15 a roll which i think is between 50-70m

Yamatoya for my bream combos
Yamatoya for my bream combos and Sunline and Varivas for my heavy combos are the ones I buy and rate.

Cheers lads, I just kept it simple and got some 10lb and 20lb black magic from the local mob in rocky.

Not Berkley Vanish that's
Not Berkley Vanish that's for sure. Bought a 14lb spool and knots kept breaking below 6lb. Wrote to Berkley Australia twice and they didn't even acknowledge. Thought I may have got a dud spool. I'm not anti-Berkley as I like and still use Fireline. Very poor service

Berkley Vanish
Agreed. I've also had issues with Berkley Vanish, breaking well below stated line rating. Won't buy it again.

Yeah, I saw plenty of crook things being said when I done a Google search for Vanish and I give it a wide berth after that.
