Man, I miss that stuff - I'm on the hunt for it again, found 50# spools at a store in Japan may order some...works out to $1+ per leader but I've spent more on less -
Outside of that I guess I'm a creature of habit - same Penns, same mono, same hooks - it didn't seem like it was broke, so I didn't feel I had to fix it, I guess - 
Okay, maybe I oughta toss in Advil liqui-gels, too - my current drug of choice on any night out -  |
I am a big fan of fluorocarbon leader material.IMO it is much better when it comes to abrasion resistance.I buy hundred yd spools of triple fish from one of the big mail order stores.They go around 27 bucks depending on the lb test.i use 40-50 and 60.One of the only things I shop from them.
I have to say the Advil's are up there on the list also.Along with some kind of Purrell...
That fish handling stuff scares the NIB.My hands can get pretty messed up at times digging in the maw of a good fish.It's amazing how bad them little scratches can get..
BTW I don't get bass thumb.It's something I never understood.I started fishing some with gloves last year.I know Zeno does it.
It's so much a PITA for me not sure it's worth it.I certainly don't want to get any infections.I try to be more mindful of what I am doing..
