Anybody use them? I had a couple packs from pike fishing in Canada. They are 80lb with a ballbearing swivel.

I've used their 14'' 130# leaders for a while and haven't had any problems. They have good ballbearing swivels and good stay-loc snaps.

I think you're think of the Stealth leaders that are 130lb x 14" with Stay-Lok snaps.

I ran the 80lb Spros like you mentioned for a few years and have never had any major issues. After awhile the snap wears out, but that's expected. Lots of people have been bitten off with 80lb. I never have, but I stopped using them for that reason. I keep the Spros as back-ups and switched to the Stealth leaders mentioned above as my primary leader.

I have used them....theyre decent but I only use them for small pike lures on my spinning rig, I wouldnt fish muskie with them though with the small snaps. I know they make 7 strand leaders with more heavy duty components but those 80lbs fluoros I have around here all have small swivels.

I used them (80Lb) before I started making my own. I never had any bite offs or other major issues. I did have a couple of them start to fray around the loop that goes through the swivel so I changed them out. I think the weeds might have had something to do with them fraying.
