If you're after leadcore it's hard to beat the ESP stuff IMO.

I use 5ft of fox illusion 30lb on my Heli setup, it's been great so far I've had a fair few fish and only have some very tiny abrasion on the line. It does need stretching each time i setup my rods however.

The fox unweighted leader is pretty good. Camo submerge. Its like
Lead core but without the lead in it. Alternatively fish helicopters naked, fox chod heli buffer sleeves or similar will protect the line where the swivel meets it whilst playing a fish, and a safety bead above the rig.
