Used this leader on a tarpon trip in the Gulf. The nylon held up well under heavy runs and the fluorocarbon tippet didn’t snap. The heavy butt section helped during windy conditions. Great value for the durability.
Lisa Lambert –
Felt more reliable than other leaders I’ve tried. The shock tippet is smooth and doesn’t fray. Only downside is the pack size is small, but it’s enough for a few days of fishing.
Sebastian Howard –
Perfect for saltwater fishing. The leader stayed intact even during a sudden tarpon run. The tippet is strong and the line doesn’t stretch much under pressure.
