Hi All,

I have been using leadcore for years but feel like giving the leadfree stuff a try after plenty of people raving about it. What is the best one on the market? Easiest to splice, sinks the best, ect?

Cheers

Gardner camflex is good easy to splice and quite heavy I have also started using PB silkray a bit finer than the Camflex but still easy to splice

Been using the fox submerge for years, in fact I've been using the same leaders for over 2 years. Found it great. Sinks great, very supple, durable and pretty easy to splice. I use the fox easy splice tool (twisted wire as opposed to a traditional latched needle).

What do you guys do to prevent slippage? Not when playing a fish, then it is solid, but more when you are trying to change a swivel, fiddling with the loop for me it tends to slip since the pressure is then off the splice. Dab of superglue looks and smells nasty

Other than that great stuff.

Superglue the splices. They do go in time. I do blob end of splice as i pull it back in for more security.
