I've been a little disappointed in the leader material i have been using and was after a quality flurocarbon leader in the 40-60lb range. I'm after a brand that has proven its worth after a drawn out fight and not let go at knots or worn through.
Thanks
Lee
Sunline make a good one in 100 meter spools. Fc Rock i think holds up great in my experience. Tight lines
X2 fc rock is what I use too
Black Magic,never let me down.

I love Black Magic fluorocarbon, and have used it in 40lb with good results. I have a mate who swears by using Jinkai, and it seems to be decent as well.
Conservation NOT preservation!
But guys what size fish are we talking??
lethal is talking 30kg fish!!
I use fc rock in the 30 - 40 lb range.
good thin diameter, supple and strong.
worth the extra dollar IMO.

Good question Lethal
Can anyone tell me what fc is good for fish in the 30kg range? (Deep sea)
I dont fish anything under 100lb braid as mainline (platypus brand), a good brand and durable, had the same line for 10 years.
Cheers, bondy
thanks wayne...
i've been hooking into some decent cobes of late and had one hang at the back of the boat the other day for an hour or two but wouldnt strike a second time after i lost it.
Water depth between 15 and 30 metres
Duel Aile SW shock leader
60, 80 and 120 pond caught many fish in excess of 30kg.
fc sunline makes 50lb, i have used this for GT's with poppers and queenies. Had a mate use black magic while I was using sunline and he had knotts slipping aLL the time...
Gone fishin', be back at dark-thirty!
Thanks for the replies, I have no idea unless I asked those who have tested and proved the fc leaders with their respective recommendations.
Cheers, tight lines people.

I found this an interesting read.

Personally i use duel shock FC and YGK and never had a problem with them.
Interesting artical Si thanks
Traces i've been using are:
15lb black magic tough fluorocarbon which i've been happy with pulling in cobia up to 10kg.
30lb nylon famell super shock leader (recomended by bcf hervey bay) most disappoined with, made a bait jig out of it and was getting ripped apart by grinners.
60lb black magic tough trace with has let go with fresh leaders time and time again on quality fish. The bluefin i caught was on this.
