Seaguar Fluoro Premier Saltwater Fishing Line Shock Leader, 100% Fluorocarbon, Multiple Sizes

Really good

Seaguar Fluoro Premier is more than great fishing leader. It makes a wonderful string for ukuleles and classical guitars! This 50 LB version is .022" in diameter and perfect in tension for a high tension first string (A) on a tenor ukulele or guilele (or a light tension first string for a classical guitar). Seaguar quality is amazing as this material is consistently true in diameter, resulting in good intonation, long sustain and clear sweet tone with slight brightness. It's also glassy smooth so no noise from picking or fretting. It's also really tough and lasts 3 or 4 times longer than nylon before fingernail and fret abrasion eat it up.

Good leader and hook links for carp

This review has absolutely nothing to do with fishing - it is for using these as instrument strings - specifically Charango and Ronroco. It is a common thing to on other instruments - just look it up on Classical Guitar or Ukulele forums.For Charango strings I have I tried Dogal D114 - nice nylon sound with perfect intonation but a bit too tense for my long scale of 39.4 cm, La Bella C80 - way too high tension, bad intonation, Medina Artigas 1230 - good intonation but a bit tense and a plucky attack with too dull decay (some really love this set though), RECENT Aquila 1CH - slightly plastic attack, not as good sustain and too tense compared to old 1CH, RECENT Aquila 2CH - still not good sustain but better feel on the long scale, slightly plastic attack, and finally Savarez Alliance KF which had a metallic attack, dark sustain, not musical feel or sound, and are very expensive as single strings.The Seaguar Premier are the BEST. The intonation is perfect. And trust me I am PICKY about intonation because the charango, like a mandolin, demands it. The sustain and volume is definitely better. The attack sounds VERY similar to the old Aquila Nylgut but is a little less plucky. It has a MUCH better quality to the attack, sustain, and feel compared to Savarez Alliance. I was particularly surprised by that since Savarez Alliance is also fluorocarbon. The Seaguar Premier feels much softer to play, with much less metallic "ping" in the attack, and is much better for vibrato compared to the Savarez Alliance.The only thing I don't absolutely love about the Seaguar is that vibrato is slightly more difficult than with the old 1CH. Also one of the strings popped off over night because I reversed it so it may be a bit more fragile. They are made for fishing after all! haha. After I replaced that string they seem to be holding up fine.For the price, intonation, sustain, feel, and tone of it I wouldn't use anything else at this point. It is easy enough to play bar chords even on my 39.4 cm scale instrument (tuned to standard tuning).Here are the gauges used of Seaguar Premier leader:Charango 39.4 cm scale, medium tension:E 20 LB .37 mmA 30 LB .47 mmE 50 /20 LB .62 mm / .37 mmC 25 .40 mmG 40 .57 mmI have since tried these same 20 lb + strings on an Argentinian 37.5 cm charango and I prefer the lightness and tone more than anything else.For a regular scale length of 37 cm and fairly strong tension use 25+ lb. This also works very well but I prefer 20 lb +!E 25 IbA 40 IbE *60* 25 IbC 30 16G 50 IbThese Seaguar Premier's just SING. They should really consider rebranding some of these in perfect gauges for every instrument imaginable. Or improve it slightly for instruments. But in reality I have NEVER used as good a string so really they don't need to change anything.

If you don't know much about fluoro and why it is so awesome:1. It is virtually invisible in water. This is due to it having the same refractive index as water (light passes through it in the same way that it would pass through water). Pretty cool.2. It is dense. This works well as a leader because it will sink with your bait while your braid is free to float.3. It is much tougher than mono. All fluoro companies tout their amazing "Abrasion Resistance". It is true.4. It is stiff, thus keeping your line straight - can you ask more of a leader?5. It is not elastic. This stuff doesn't stretch or flex like mono does. This is yet another quality that makes it supreme for leader material. Amazing feel and hook sets.Stuff you need to know:This stuff, like I said, is stiff. You have to tie good knots. I usually tie a double uni knot to my braided line and a loop knot to whatever I am throwing. This combo has simply worked best for me.Oh yea, my leader length... it all depends on water conditions and blah blah blah... but I normally tie on around a 4 foot section as I don't like to reel my knot (braid/fluoro) through the tip of my rod. This is not exact science as I have caught fish with as small as a foot or two. It is all personal preference. I just replace the leader when it looks frayed/damaged/cracked due to wear and tear.I fish the backwaters in Naples, FL and usually pair 25-30 lb fluoro with 15 lb PowerPro braid. I usually target Redfish, Tarpon, Snook, Seatrout and Mangrove Snapper to name a few. This stuff works for them all. This is the only fluoro I use. It holds up well against anything that I throw at it.Edit: Below is a pic of the first fish caught on this new spool of line. Happy fishing!

Very thin and strong compared with other products. It's probably as good as Fluoro leader gets to be honest.

Excelente producto!! Me funciona con los velas!!

muy bueno lo recomiendo

Was fighting a steelhead that was maybe 10lbs. Was not horsing it or anything, but when steelhead jumped the line snapped at the knot tied to a swivel.My old leader line was Stroft GTM and it would never have snapped like this.I was trying to up my game by switching to a fluorocarbon, but I am super dissapointed.This was supposed to be the best FC line there is...I tried tying my new jig again and tested the knot by pulling it with my handa and it just snapped again at the knot...UPDATE:This line cuts itself if you tie clinch knot.Avoid it.Instead tie double pitzel knot. This knot is the best knot. You can test it by tying one end of the line with double pitzel knot and the other end with some different knot. Then pull until it breaks. You will see that the line will always break at the other knot, while double pitzel will hold.Anyways, this line is good, but you must tie a proper knot.

Resite tallones fuertes. Es un buen material para pesca.

Seaguar is the best flourocarbon on the market. I use it every chance I get and makes leader line invisible. If you fish this is the one to buy.

Its flourocarbon leader whats to like or not like you still have to be able to catch the fish and this leader did not know how to fish any better than my hooks did. Was it like ringing the dinner bell and the fish came from miles around? No. Did it repel the fish? No. I caught more than some and less than others on that cattle boat trip. 145.00 for a 3/4 day boat ouch. It seemed uniform and well made it did not break on the ones that bit.
