Leaders

[Sharky2]

I bought 1.0mm suffix leader line about two months ago,the line was really nice and soft and easy to tie knots with.

yesterday i wanted to make some traces but noticed the leader line was really really hard and it was very hard to make a decent knot because of this.is it still useable?

any advise on what new leader line to buy that won't do the same and what do you guys use?

I Love Araty ..when i can get my hands on it ...

As of recent ... i use the kingfisher brand for throw baits & scratching ..
Personally very gud value for money .

My opinion ....

 

[carcharias]

Pioneer for the thinner leaders. Up to 1mm.
Berkley big game for 1.2mm and above.

In my opinion the best leader is Maxima Ultra green. Tried...tested..and works for most of the competition anglers.

1mm kingfisher or thicker, my 2c

Sorry I'm OFF TOPIC here, but just noticed your interesting Avatar Duckbill! Where did you get the pic from? It's a beauty!!

Reason I ask, because it's actually..................

my photograph!:doh True. :lol:1



I Took it in while diving on 5 Mile Reef in Sodwana Bay in 2005! It was originally named Eagle Ray, but it isn't, it's a Duckbill or Bull Ray.

There was a whole thread which discussed the Eagle Ray vs Duckbill/Bull Ray.

Here's a scaled down version of the original... if you look carefully, in the lower right hand side, the Duckbill is cruising right over a MASSIVE Diamond Ray!!

Charge him Reefman! Royalties

Nah its kewl,  he can use it as long as he corrects the title - it's not an Eagle Ray

1st choice: Araty
2nd choice: Double X Shock leader (expensive)
3rd choice: Kingfisher (good value for money)

I think you should change his name to Blacktail not Duckbill!LOL

For leaders I use Maxima Ultra Green up to 1.0mm. After that its Spin Sport up to 1,5mm - 1,7mm.
For hook snoots targetting edibles I generally like to use Double X FluoroCarbon.

No Longer available.

It has been replaced by the Kingfisher Leader. Still inexpensive and seems to be strong.
