Favorite Fluorocarbon?
I have a quickie question. What is your favorite Fluorocarbon leader and why? (Sorry...2 questions!)
I've been using Triple Fish for years but it seems to becoming harder to find. Seaguar seems a little pricy. What are the differences between them, other than price? (Ok...that makes 3....I'm done now ;) ) Thanks ahead of time! |
Orvis Mirage. It is the most abrasion resistant of the leader materials I have used, IMO.
|
orvis mirage is my favorite thiner and softer holds up great in rocks.
|
Ahhh...maybe I should clarify, this leader is for jigging and spinning combos...does the mirage come in spools or is it just tippet material type flyfishing stuff?
Sorry :o |
its leader material comes on a spool same as youve been useing
|
i use Orvis Mirage for spinning on rockpiles.
|
orvis mirage, holds up great and is cheaper then seaguar, also you get 40m ( seaguar 25m?)per spool and only $16. They dont get more $$$ as the lb test goes up too.
|
I've given up on it . . . I've tried Ande, Seaguar, Mirage, and others I don't recall - the common them with all of them is (in my experience) they shred . . . abrashion resistence stinks and as soon as I see one shred I change out the rig - wasted too much time - I'm back to Jinkai mono - even chunkin' tuna in the daylight.
|
i dont see anything on orvis website that they sell anything besides 20 lbs test.
|
i get mine at quaker lane they have it rite on the self i think it goes up to 60lb
|
Triplefish. Supple compared to others, cheaper, and has held up well in my opinion.
|
Quote:
Its sizing is based on the diameter, 80lb is .030", 60lb is .027"and 52lb is .025". Its right above where you saw the 20lb leader notaro. Mirage flourocarbon tippet |
I've started using the Ande.Cheaper than the Seaguar and holds up just as well.
|
Bob I like anything you have and bring with you. I'm not choosey.
