Quick take
A 30-meter fluorocarbon shock leader rated 4 lb for connecting braided line to hooks and lures in saltwater.
This is a 4 lb fluorocarbon shock leader from Duel in a natural clear tint, wound as a 30 m spool. Fluorocarbon is a low-visibility material, which suits anglers who want a leader that blends in with the water. The light 4 lb strength fits finesse setups and small-fish rigs where a fine leader matters.
