ThornsLine 100% Pure Fluorocarbon Fishing Line - Premium Leader Material from Japan - High Strength, Abrasion-Resistant, Fast Sinking - Freshwater and Saltwater Fishing Leader

. This is good fluorocarbon. It's good for inshore fishing. I have no complaints

As far as fluorocarbon leader material goes this is right up there with other more well known brands. Abrasion resistance is on par with others as is the strength. Fluorocarbon lines are renown for their ability to practically be undetectable in the water column, a trait this brand also exhibits and ensures the main line dosent spook the fish. Like all other fluorocarbon lines I’ve used I would not recommend using this if your fishing topwater, like others this line sinks and tends to be a little stiff, this will affect the action of your lures. Also of note another trait of this line, and fluorocarbon lines in general, is the chance of a knot not holding. Definitely test the holding power of the knot you choose to use, some commonly used knots do not work as well with this line as they would with monofilament. As I said this is not a issue just with this line but with fluorocarbon lines in general, so make sure you wet the knot as your synching it down and test its staying power, nothing is worse then hooking up with a sizable fish only to have the knot fail…trust me, that’s how I learned to double check my knots. So in ending great line to use as a leader as long as you understand the strengths and weaknesses of fluorocarbon lines.

I am using the13lb test on a fresh water spinning rig and it's working quite well. Have only had it on the lake for a short session, but for new line it casts and retrieves very smoothly. It also seems to sink a little faster than the standard 14lb monofilament line it replaced. Knots are easy to tie, and hold tight. I fish this same spot regularly, and during that evening the action was about the same as usual. So at this point I can't attest that this Fluorocarbon line is better or worse at catching fish than my old line. I can tell you I caught several fish, and 2 nice size bass in a little over an hour, and that I will continue to use this line for awhile!

Line has a very weak breaking point. not good. lost a few lures and tested the line on knots broke every tine with 2.8 pound on it.

I use this line as the leader on several of my bass fishing rigs. I use braided line as the main line and then attach a swivel. I attach the flourocarbon leader to the swivel.This Thornsline flourocarbon line does exactly what one would expect from pure flourocarbon. It sinks in the water and becomes almost invisible to the naked eye. It has really good feel and response. It doesn't stretch like normal mono line.I, personally, use the 8-lb test line for my leader on most of my rigs. It's strong but breaks when I need it to break (due to snags).
