Location: Hayward, WI		I've only used 150# Seaguar so far but it ties pretty easy providing a long enough tag end is used. I've been thinking about going to 180, just for extra insurance.

I use a clinch knot and then dip it in epoxy. 130# and 200#, never had one fail in two years of using the leaders.
