Used this leader on a recent tarpon trip in the Gulf. The nylon holds up well under heavy pulls and the fluorocarbon tippet doesn’t fray. The heavy butt section stayed intact even in strong winds. Great value for the 2-pack.
Paul Quinn –
Felt more durable than other leaders I’ve tried. The shock tippet is smooth and doesn’t snag easily. Only issue was the packaging was a bit tight, but the product itself performs well in saltwater conditions.
Victoria Manning –
Perfect for offshore tarpon fishing. The leader doesn’t break during runs and the fluorocarbon tippet is nearly invisible in the water. I’ve used it in multiple trips and it’s still in great condition.
