Common Questions
- Q: Can this be used as full main line?
A: It performs best as a leader. Fluorocarbon-coated lines have more memory and are less suited for full spooling.
- Q: What main line should I pair with it?
A: Most NZ anglers use braid or mono and attach this leader using FG, Uni-to-Uni, or Albright knots.
- Q: When is 9.48lb better than lighter leaders?
A: Use it when fishing deeper pools, mild current, or for larger trout that fight harder.
