Hey
Berkley vanish aint a mono line.. Its a flurocarbon..
You are probably better of fishing with flurocarbon instead of normal mono for SP fishing.But braid is the best.. any reason why you dont want to use braid?
Cheers
can you use vanish as an SP leader on mono main line?
Mike
Hey Nabs
i use 4lb braid and its awsome but i want to try a light mono or flurocarbon to see what it is like

G'day
Yes mike, no harm in using the vanish up front.
Why not run some very small platinum with vanish leader?
Dave
That is exactly what I do.Originally Posted by Marlin_Mike
f you are really looking for something different and a bit of fun, try using 2 kg or even 1 kg mono for your SPs. I use mainly Platypus pretest. Hell of alot of fun trying to stop a good fish on 1 or 2 kg line!!!

"The underlying spirit of angling is that the skill of the angler is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish and the latter is entitled to an even chance for it's life."
(Quotation from the rules of the Tuna Club Avalon, Santa Catalina, U.S.A.)
Apathy is the enemy
Before I switched to light braids I was always a big fan of platinum and still use it for leaders occasionally.
Cheers Dave.
G'day
Just a second thought, why not try the platypus lo-stretch? It's a mono with the non stretch of braid
Dave
Have a look at the comparable weight/diameter ratio in each - I'd guess that Platypus Super 100 would be right down there too. I haven't used anything all that light, but I've got 12lb on a 4000 symetre and a Alvey 600B and really like it.
Good luck,
Mike

platypus platinum 6lb or 8lb its nice and thin. ive also heard good reports about the yo zuri hybrid. its also a flurocarbon line
The new platypus low stretch looks as though it may work good for sp's and for ppl who dont like braid
Josh
You might want to have a look at the Platypus Super 100 as well. It's about 8% thinner than the Platinum for the same breaking strain.

fishphile and 2lair,
have you guys noticed the platinum or super ribboning/twisting much????
was running classic and all it done was ribbon/twist
not good when your on the fish.
thanks
neil
G'day
honky dory, A good qyuality mono that twists up is usually a spooling isue. Could this be the case?
Dave
