Featured Replies

25 yards seems a little excessive for a bass leader. By the way, I think Trilene 100% fluorocarbon is pretty good line for leaders.

For starters, periods are your friend ;)

 

25 yards, is more than I have ever heard of a leader. Why in gods name would you use such a long leader? Of are you talking about the 25 yards is your main line backed with the Pline?

Fluorocarbon on a spinning rod (I assume spinning as your using 8#), is more difficult to maintain and will have more memory that most coly polys and mono lines. Its still managable though if its spooled on correctly.

 

Super cast is closer to a braided line.

 

I run no more than  5-6 foot leader. I can usually retie 4-5 times before I need to use more leader. There is a guy here that catches more fish that I could shake a stick at and he uses a 2-3 foot leader, so I can't for life of me see what 25 foot would be needed. It kinda defeats the purpose of a leader. About 3/4 of my casts in a days fishing never exceed 20 feet.

maybe 25yards is an a little of an exaggeration but the reason i runa  slightly longer leader is because i fish a lot of criks and its covered with rock and since i wade i run a longer leader in case it breaks off i dont have to go back and fourth but i was looking at supercast because i have that bps 8 strand the new one its ok but so p line you think is ok? and i do run 8#

It may have a tad more abrasion resistance than regular braid, but its still going to act like braid in reguards to abrasion.
