Favorite Fluorocarbon?
I have a quickie question. What is your favorite Fluorocarbon leader and why? (Sorry...2 questions!)
I've been using Triple Fish for years but it seems to becoming harder to find. Seaguar seems a little pricy. What are the differences between them, other than price? (Ok...that makes 3....I'm done now  )
Thanks ahead of time! |

Orvis Mirage. It is the most abrasion resistant of the leader materials I have used, IMO.

Ahhh...maybe I should clarify, this leader is for jigging and spinning combos...does the mirage come in spools or is it just tippet material type flyfishing stuff?
Sorry  |

orvis mirage, holds up great and is cheaper then seaguar, also you get 40m ( seaguar 25m?)per spool and only $16. They dont get more $$$ as the lb test goes up too.

I've given up on it . . . I've tried Ande, Seaguar, Mirage, and others I don't recall - the common them with all of them is (in my experience) they shred . . . abrashion resistence stinks and as soon as I see one shred I change out the rig - wasted too much time - I'm back to Jinkai mono - even chunkin' tuna in the daylight.

Triplefish. Supple compared to others, cheaper, and has held up well in my opinion.

Its sizing is based on the diameter, 80lb is .030", 60lb is .027"and 52lb is .025". Its right above where you saw the 20lb leader notaro. Mirage flourocarbon tippet |

I've started using the Ande.Cheaper than the Seaguar and holds up just as well.
