These shock leaders have been designed specifically for long range fishing to help you achieve maximum distance without the risk of cracking, and are perfect when used in conjunction with the Long Chuck mainline.
There are three different combinations of Long Chuck Tapered Leader, allowing you to match it to the breaking strain of the main line you are using, thus ensuring the cleanest joining knot possible and also reducing the risk of 'frap-ups' (this usually occurs when lines of different diameters are joined and a sudden change in the way they spiral off the spool through the butt ring).
Each leader is 10m long, features 8m of 30lb/0.47mm breaking strain line, to absorb the force of the cast and provide some protection when playing a fish thanks to its abrasion resistance – ideal when fishing gravel bars – and then the last 2m tapers from 0.47mm (30lb) to either 0.27mm (10lb), 0.30mm (12lb) or 0.33mm (15lb), depending on which of the three versions you choose.
Tapered leaders feature the same properties as Long Chuck mainline, with ultra-low stretch to help compress the rod (heavy mono is typically quite stretchy and hinders casting); low water absorption; light breaking strain because it is transparent (the dye adds extra weight), so it stays in the air longer; and a high breaking strain-to-diameter ratio to reduce drag.
Each spool contains five leaders.
