The Basics – 150lb Test Monofilament Slidebaiting Leader
“The Basics” are stripped down versions of our most popular premium tackle as a lower cost alternative. These offer the same functionality at half the cost! These leaders are designed specifically for West Coast/Hawaii style land based sharking, using a tactic known worldwide as “Slide baiting”. By casting a heavy anchor sinker (see our other products for examples) the angler can create a zip line effect, allowing a large, or fragile live bait to be presented at greater distances than they could be cast! A fantastic fishing tactic, and these leaders are the perfect tool for the job!

David Howard –
This leader works perfectly for slide baiting on the coast. The 150lb test is strong enough to handle heavy sinkers without breaking. The stainless steel clip stays secure even in windy conditions. I’ve used it for several trips with live bait and it’s reliable.
Una Cameron –
Good value for the price. The monofilament holds up well under repeated use. I found it easy to attach to my sinker and it doesn’t fray. Works well in the slide baiting technique I use regularly.

I switched from a premium leader to this one and noticed a significant cost reduction without sacrificing performance. The strength and durability match what I need for long-distance presentations with live bait.
