Quick take
A 20-meter nylon shock leader that absorbs the jolt of casting, protecting your main line from breakage.
This is a clear nylon shock leader on a 20-meter spool, with a 16-pound strength. It suits anglers who want a heavier section tied between a main line and a lure or hook, such as those fishing for bass and walleye. Its single-strand build keeps the rig simple to tie.
Best for
- Casting lures or baits from shore
- Protecting braided main line from fraying
- Saltwater casting and general casting applications
Skip if
- You fish exclusively from a boat
- You prefer fluorocarbon leader material
Strengths
- Nylon absorbs shock better than direct braid tie
