avid Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I will be needing a line to use as leader material. Low visibility is not as important as ultra tough abrasion resistance. Original fireline is great as a highly rugged leader but I was wondering if the new crystal is as tough. Any experience out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User J Francho Posted September 17, 2008 Super User Share Posted September 17, 2008 Braid as a leader? NONE. I use Gamma or P-Line 100% Fluorocarbon Leader for abrasion resistance. Its worth noting I fish in zebe infested waters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Wayne P. Posted September 18, 2008 Super User Share Posted September 18, 2008 The two lines you mentioned are the same, just different color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ebby- Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 i really like fireline but i used the crystal once and did not like it, might have just been the batch i had but it seemed thicker stiffer and i broke it with my hands while taking a backlash out so i haven't tried it since. Might not be bad but i don't have confidence in it anymore. never had a problem with the black tho. BTW i was using 20lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
