Berzin sound like a right legend

You should take more notice of him

steath:

you don't need all that

Just use a rotten bottom tied to a big rig ring pva stringed up for strength

I don't use leadcore either

I'll tell you straight away what I find annoying about leadcore:

Finding info on what beads and tubing fits

Anyway it is banned on all my locals, so I have given up on it

I do quite like using it as it is a nice material but I take all the pinning the line down with a large dose of salt now to be honest. The last few feet of line, even if you are bowstringing at short to medium range, naturally pins itself down very flat

As for protecting the line from a helicopter rig's swivel, also been taking all that with a dose of sodium chloride recently as there are some little ins and outs that avoid the need for all that too

Each to their own I suppose but I think leaders are way, way overused

The point of a leader in the first place was for safety in winding up a long distance boomer cast, they never had anything to do with what went on in the lake IMO

Expect a volley of abuse now, lol, please correct me if I am missing something but let's face it leadcore and tubing are always going to be a crude ''here I am'' addition to any end setup
