courtz Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 i use preston powerline in 8lb 15oz strenght(9lbs basically) i have cuaght fish to over 18lbs using it, and the best knot to tie it to the swivel is a palomar in my opinion and then a knotless on the hook end. it is very thin and clear. i've found it alot stronger than drennan double strength which has rubbish knot strength and snaps easily. the strength depends on the size fish you're after. i use 9lb as i go for fish possibly over 20lbs, but you can scale up or down accordingly. tight lines courtz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trees Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I use Wychwood Sinking Fly Leader in 10lb BS. Dunno why I use the sinking version, apart from, it's the only thing I have in my tacklebox thats suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
