can anyone recommend a good leader brand that is available in malaysia ? A soft but durable fluorcarbon leader the 10lb, 8lb or 6lb class, coz i need it for luring. Anyways, have you guys seen any tackle shops in KL stocking any of this?
I have the vanish fluorocarbon line in the 6lb class though, any of you guys used the vanish before ? Are they recommended ? or is there something much better?
Heres a tip for you guys i'd like to share! If a lure gets stuck, make sure you have the heaviest sinker you can find and slide it down the line to dislodge the snagged lure. make sure you shake it vigorously, to knock the lure out of whatever it is stuck in. I tried it once and managed to retrieve my yozuri.. phew
another thing, usually i tie a Uni knot to attach leader to braid, and to swivels and stuff; how good is an FG knot versus a Uni ?
FG knot is good if you are luring/baitcasting as it is a basically knot-free solution; won't snag on your guides and make you lose precious distance.
Uni knot is a bit bulkier and if you cast often, you may damage the knot as it keeps getting snagged on the guides.
