zollerj Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The biggest difference I have found is the leader material is more abrasion resistant, and not as flexible. I use the leader material for flies, and a slipping j-plug harness I tie. They are short and the tougher material helps them last longer. I use the flourocarbon line for for the ends of my leadcore and my copper lines. Personally I would have no problem using the leader material for the end of my long lines if it wasn't so expensive.

Nailer Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yes what Joel said.Use leader line when ever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherman51 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 +1 for using the floro leader. it just seems to work better for me than the floro fishing line. but it could have just been the brand i was using. i was using vanish line for my leaders, and after having way to many brakes i switched to seaguar leader, and havent had a problem since. and i think it might just be in my mind, but it seemed like i got more hits. but with all the money i have invested i just dont think a few extra bucks for piece of mind is to much to pay. just another opinion.sherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't use it if it was given to me.Last year i tried seagurs abrax linebecause of an article in salt water journal. It is like 30 bucks a spool and is a little stiffer than the other flourocarbon lines. It is also supposed to retain more strength when it does get a nick then other flourocarbarn lines according to the article. It is 100% flourocarbon according to talking to their tech dept and the closest they make to gamma. I really wish someone would buy gamma line and start producing it again. It was well worth the money. I dont know how true all of it is, but that is what i had read and was told by calling them. I liked it but this year i'm trying triple fish out for the cost. I only had one break off that was entirely my fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
