I'm looking for a soft flurocarbon in higher breaking strain (30lb+) to use in 1m lengths as a short leader/anti tangle section.

I've tried a few boom materials but they've been too stiff so don't lay with the lake bed.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

I have used the 19lb version for a long time now, 600m spool, brilliant stuff

Was going to recommend it but he says 30lb

Thanks, I realised I had been using 25lb tint link and when I tried 30lb it was so much stiffer and almost impossible to tie a Palomar with.

So I'll be off to see if iq 25lb is any softer, otherwise I'll get another spool of the same
