I am not quite sure what you guys are refering to as a shock leader. could someone try and explain this to me? I have used what i have always called shock leaders but am sure it is not the same as what you guys are talking about. What i always called a shock leader is what we would use when tuna fishing with hand lines and tie of a piece of mono to a cleat or something and when the fish runs it breaks that mono and sets the hook for you.
