Ended up with some 40 lb. test samples of Seagar flourocarbon line from the MSBA tourney, and the crap cost me fish. Had the hook break right off six times on our good fish on Sunday. Only managed to boat a couple shorts before the fish slacked with the tide. It would either wear right through or snap clean off. No knot problems just the stuff being absolute junk. We took the beating (and soaking) to make the run, get into some good fish, only to have the leader experiment ruin our fun. Oh well, what can you do besides go back to the tried and true?
