Quick take
Japanese fluorocarbon leader line with refraction index matching water for invisibility and sensitivity.
This is a 55-yard spool of clear single-strand fluorocarbon leader material in 10 lb strength, about 0.24 mm thick. Fluorocarbon bends light much like water does, so it blends in below the surface, which suits leaders for line-shy fish. It comes in a dispenser box that keeps the spool tidy in a tackle bag.
Best for
- Clear-water fishing where invisibility matters
- Situations demanding high sensitivity on light line
- Discerning species like trout and walleye
Skip if
- You fish murky water where leader visibility is not a problem
Strengths
- Nearly invisible underwater reduces bites lost to leader spooking
- Supple with minimal line memory fresh from spool
- High abrasion resistance for rough bottoms
Trade-offs
- More difficult to tie knots than monofilament
- Heavier than monofilament for the same test strength
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
