Do you use filler line or actual leaders? (Fluorocarbon)

Brand?

Thanks,

Andy

I just make my own with whatever # test I think is required. Since I tried so many different lines last season, I'll have plenty of options.

InvisX or AbrasX will be my leader material... I have 6, 8, 10 and 12 left over from last year.

I think the fluorocarbon leaders are more abrasion resistant than the fluorocarbon line, so that is what I generally use.  I only have a few rigs that I use a braid/fluorocarbon leader combination, so a spool of 20 lb fluorocarbon had lasted a couple of years.

Good question. I've always used filler line, but I'm thinking about trying a spool of Seaguar Fluoro Premier in 20# for jig fishing. It's expensive (about $0.50 a yard), but my understanding is that fluorocarbon leader material is usually thinner and harder compared to filler line.  20# test has the equivalent diameter of 15# test.
