I use seagar for all my leaders. I tried vanish but like seagar better. IMO they are all more abraision resistant then plain mono. no problem with knots. I think it does help but have no scientific evidence that I catch more fish with it but it feels better as a leader material. IMO it is especially good when you tie direct for albies and bones...it really works better then a direct mono tie.

For about 3 years all I used was yo-zuri line for surf fishing... Then I went to big game, I thought yo-zuri was pretty good but a tad stiff esp in cold weather. I did not notice a hook up ratio difference. Now I am a braid guy that goes to a seagar leader.

I am sure others make decent floro leader material as well. Just cause you invent it does not mean you make it the best. That said I tend to purchase seagar.

It aint cheap, that is for sure, too bad you can't buy bulk spools of this stuff. The heavy stuff is almost a buck a yard.
