Default Leader

Just a eyes up to you people who prefer low diameter leaders with good breaking strain.
When I was in Ireland I popped into here,
Cloughbally Mill Angling Centre
And saw on sale Trabacco XPS trout tournament class line it was in a flash enough pack which took my eye and it is spooled with a piece of plastic over the line with a hole in making it so east to take off and keep neat.
Anyway to cut to the chase its a 150m spool for £3.99 the 6lb is 0.16dia
and the 8lb 0.18dia is very supple, and an easy equal to stroft if not better.
They have not got this on their web site but a call may get you it.

Middy Low-Viz Fluorocrystal is hell of a lot better than Stroft. It's knot strength is far better and it's cheaper and more readily available. The 5.2lb B.S. is 0.16 mm.
