I was using 25 lb fluorocarbon ,,,as that's only kind line I use ......huge mr halibut bit right through after a short fight......I spool whole reel not just leader usually....I am upgrading to 40 lb floro which I will use for both leader and whole spool depending..... at 25$ per \reel\spool It aint cheap....fluorocarbon rules...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
got my new wire ,,,afw surflon micro ultra 26 lb stainless braided coated and camo color and you can tie it like regular line or use sleeves...I don't have a fishing crimper but I do have a reg electric wire one .....don't know if it will work ..if not I will get the right one...Very impressed so far a lot thinner than I thought,,,and they make a even more subtle flexible one too..i will go for much heavier next order like 40 or 50 lb atleast.. ...yeehaw..I plan on being on the water atleast 3 times a week or more ..but that's normal for me....FLYFISHING florida is where I learned about fluorocarbon ...I caught a lot of fish fly fishing florida all the flats fish ,,I cheated in the boat some times by chumming and running attracting rigs,,sometimes trolling even....for offshore...I respect and love fish .. I have been know to kiss a beauty and then release it...no tongue tho I aint a sicko....yeehaw....my ribs should be good enough for duct tape so I can get in kayak monday.....shore fishing blows compared numbers wise....when in a boat /kayak whatever I catch a lot more due to hit and run fishing...and fishfinder
