Overview

Tying on as a leader or tippet, this fluorocarbon line is made to be low-visibility when trout fishing in clear water. It is a single-strand line with a 6X tippet size and a light breaking strength.

Offers a light, nearly invisible leader in a long length, useful for finicky trout. The listing is sparse on diameter and knot strength, so match it to the rest of your outfit.

Who it's for

Trout anglers using light lures or flies who want fluorocarbon tippet on a generous spool. Bass, saltwater and heavy-cover anglers need stronger line.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light 6X tippet size
  • Long spool length
  • One year warranty
Cons
  • Only 3 lb breaking strength
  • Diameter unclear in listing
  • Not suited to heavy cover
  • Weight fields inconsistent

Performance notes

Fluorocarbon refracts light much like water, which is why it is used for low-visibility leaders. The light breaking strength is matched to small trout and fine presentations, so it will not hold up to heavy fish or abrasive cover. Knot choice and the main line it is tied to affect strength.
