That's the stuff! Very stiff.

I always have 15, 30, 44, and 60 lb. on hand for various applications (tings, bucktails, plugs and chunking).

I like seagaur

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

goose i believe that this a leader with one end being 60# tapering to 16#. mostly used for breaking fish records for igfa rules and regs. its like using 50# test as a main line then tying youre leader on that is 20#test. just a guess.

Goose - If you're trying to order from the website, you need to click on "Tippet Material" then "Mirage Tippets". You want the spool of 30 meters that cost $15.95. These are what you're looking for. The numbers .017"-.030" are the diameters of the line which correspond to the breaking strenght. You want the .025" which is 52lb test. When you click to purchase the $15.95 spool, it asks you what size, 21=39lbs, 23=44lbs, 25=52lbs, 27=60lbs and 30=80lbs. I use the 52lb test and like it better than any other fluorocarbons out there and I've tried many of them including Seagur, Triplefish and others. Hope this helps.
