Only 2 brands of leaders I will use. Spro for the single strand wire, and Stealth for everything else. Both are awesome. I've used a Stealth leader for 2 seasons, some small nicks but nothing major with no failures. Caught fish of all sizes on them. Right now I won't even look at any other brands regardless of price.

You really can't go wrong with a Stealth leader made by John. Never had any issues with mine.

Flouro is on everyone of my rods and has been for 10 years with zero failures including jig fishing and other applications where the leader will likely be in the fish's mouth. Both Steel and Flouro in heavier tests work. Durability wise I have had better luck with Flouro with multiple seasons of use on a single leader only changing out worn snaps.

They both work. Pick your poison

workin a manta the other day a big fish opens up her mouth inhales the manta and all i feel is part of a hit, completely severed the 130lb flourocarbon leader, never had problems with them until now! now I'm wondering if I should go back to seven strand or what! maybe it's my fault for working that style of bait with that style of leader??
