Quick take
A short leader spool of fluorocarbon for squid jigging and eging, nearly invisible in water and sinking.
Daiwa's No. 2.5 fluorocarbon leader comes on a 35 m natural green spool sized for squid fishing, where a thin leader is the usual choice. It carries a 10 lb line test and a fluorocarbon specific gravity of 1.78, so it suits anglers who want a small spool of leader material. The compact spool fits easily in a tackle bag for carrying spares.
