Abrasion Resistance

Post by Mo Redd »

I have heard that fluorocarbon is not very abrasion resistant. What kind of leader would you tie onto a braid when
fishing the rocks east of the lighthouse?

My understanding is that Fluro is much more abrasion resistant than mono. I like seagar also, but I'll go up to 30 when fishing around rocks, oysters or docks. 20 for everything else

I always use fluoro for leaders but I normally use 20lb Red Label Seagar, which is made as a main line. I use it because it's much cheaper than fluorocarbon leader spools, BUT fluoro made for main line use will be softer and less abrasion resistant than fluoro made specifically for leader material.
