What kind of Flourocarbon leader do you use? What is good?

I'm looking for the good stuff today after having some Berkley Vanish just break like it was made out of a rubber band.

when im fishing for big dogs i like triple fish flurocarbon 30lb test...fishing on the upper ochlockonee one day I wrapped up a gar in it....if its inshore i stick to 15lb test at the most...

Seaguar

I have always used Fireline for everything. I like the way I can feel the slightest bump........and rip my lure from a stump!

I use Triple Fish.

That'll be three of us.

Berkley vanish works fine for me.

i feel like if i fish with leader i spook fish...8lb berkley or cajun line when i get my hands on it is perfect...when you guys are fishing inshore how much leader do you throw on there? I usually do 12-18"..

I lost one of my biggest bass ever on Vanish... Really it was big!

After losing that one I read the box- wet your knot first then cinch it down.
Apparently the heat from friction kills that line.

I always wet fluorocarbon well when tying the knot.

and there you have it folks...

For inshore, I use 20 lb Seaguar. This is mainly for the abrasive resistant qualities needed when fishing around oyster bars. And yes, always wet the knot before cinching it.

Seaguar here as well.

Well, I think I'll go ahead and switch to Seaguar. I will also start wetting the knots. You learn something everyday. Thanks fellas!

YO-ZURI for me every time...... I used the heavy leaders sword fishing and sail fishing .......and it seemed to be the most abrasive resistant in those applications, so I just down sized for inshore.
