Description
Fluorocarbon leader line, such as Shimano's new EX Fluoro Ocea Leader, offers several advantages to anglers handling cautious fish in difficult fishing conditions. It is thinner than equivalent refractive strain nylon, has high abrasion resistance, does not absorb water so it sinks faster, is lighter in colour and less visible to fish as its refractive index is quite close to water. The Ocea Leader construction is quite different in that it has a soft fluoro core for knot strength, a hard outer coating for abrasion resistance and then a fluorine coating on top of this to provide a smooth surface finish.
