31.28LB Fluorocarbon Coated Leader Line 0.45mm 120m White

Heavy Duty Leader for New Zealand Coastal Fishing

This 31.28LB fluorocarbon coated leader line is designed for anglers who need more strength and abrasion protection around New Zealand coastal structure. The 0.45mm line provides a substantial step up from lighter leader sizes while retaining the low underwater visibility associated with a fluorocarbon coated outer surface.

Key Features

• 31.28lb breaking strength provides extra security when fishing around rocks weed wharf structure and other abrasive areas.
• 0.45mm diameter provides greater toughness than the lighter leader options in this range.
• Fluorocarbon coated construction helps reduce underwater visibility for a more natural bait or lure presentation.
• Nylon core provides flexibility and allows the leader to be tied securely to braid or monofilament main line.
• 120m spool provides enough line for making multiple leaders across many fishing trips.
• White line is suitable for freshwater and saltwater leader applications.

Benefits

1. Provides additional abrasion resistance when fish run around rocks weed kelp or other underwater structure.
2. Offers substantially more strength than lighter fluorocarbon coated leaders for more demanding NZ fishing situations.

Common Questions

• Q: What type of NZ fishing suits the 31.28LB leader?
  A: This heavier leader is well suited to estuaries rocky shorelines harbour fishing and general inshore saltwater situations where additional strength and abrasion resistance are useful.
• Q: What is the breaking strength in kilograms?
  A: The stated 31.28lb strength is approximately 14.2kg.
• Q: How thick is the line?
  A: This version has a stated diameter of 0.45mm making it considerably heavier than the lighter leader options in the same range.
• Q: Is this pure fluorocarbon?
  A: No. This product uses a nylon core with a fluorocarbon coating rather than being manufactured entirely from fluorocarbon.
• Q: Should I use this as my main fishing line?
  A: It is designed primarily for use as a leader tied to braid or monofilament main line rather than for filling an entire reel.
• Q: Which fish could I use this leader for in New Zealand?
  A: The heavier strength can suit coastal fishing for species such as snapper kahawai and trevally particularly where fish may run close to rocks weed or other structure.
• Q: How much leader line is supplied?
  A: Each spool contains 120 metres which provides enough material for multiple leaders.
• Q: Why choose this version instead of the 21.34LB leader?
  A: The 31.28LB version has a thicker 0.45mm diameter and greater breaking strength making it a better choice when abrasion resistance and additional pulling strength are more important than using the finest possible leader.

Summary

This 31.28LB fluorocarbon coated leader line is the heavier option for NZ anglers fishing around tougher structure or targeting stronger coastal fish. Its 0.45mm diameter 31.28lb strength nylon core fluorocarbon coating and generous 120m spool make it a practical leader for braid and monofilament fishing setups.
