100% pure fluorocarbon leader material from Blood Run Tackle for float fishing, dropshotting, and other stealthy applications for line shy species.
Premium fluorocarbon constructed from the highest available grade resin mixtures to provide one of the smoothest and most durable fluorocarbon leader materials. This is an extremely high end leader, no doubt about it.
Nearly 100% invisible under water, impervious to Ultra Violet (UV) rays and is extremely abrasion resistant.
Added resin mixtures allow slightly more flex and stretch than our stiffer trolling leader, while still providing great sensitivity for dropshotting, float fishing and jigging.
This is an IDEAL sub freezing fluorocarbon leader with no memory, great sensitivity, and zero brittleness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What LB. test leader should I use?
You need to think of a couple of factors when selecting the right sized leader. Water clarity, spooked fish, underwater obstructions, and diameter of mainline. Generally, the clearer the water or spookier the fish, downsize. If you are in a woody area, or pilings and obstructions, larger diameter is your friend as you have more material to work with, and can handle more chafing. If you are running with a mainline, make sure your mainline is at least .005" greater in diameter than your leader.
Can your leader be used for any style of fishing, not just float fishing?
Of course! Any application that requires a leader, which is almost everything these days, you can use our fluorocarbon leader. We use it for tippet on our fly rods, leader tied to a micro swivel when pitching for bass or jigging for walleye, and of course float fishing.
Why is diameter so important and why do you highlight that so much?
It's important when comparing against other brands you may have used in the past. When doing a comparison you must first be using the same diameter, forget what the LB test on the label says. LB. test on a label does not account for knot weakness, and everyone ties different knots. Focus on diameter and you are then making a fair comparison in actual line breaking strength, not factoring in whatever knot you might use. And when float fishing, or any fishing where you are likely to snag alot, you have to be able to break your leader with relative ease without putting undue stress on your mainline in the process. Which is why paying attention to diameter difference between leader and mono mainlines is key. If you use a braid mainline, this won't apply as it's a completely different material with a much higher break strength for it's diameter.
Would you consider your leader to be a soft or hard leader?
Our fluorocarbon leader in this size range (not our XL leader) would be considered a "soft". Different resins are used to make "hard" or "soft" leaders, which directly impacts the action (or lack of) on your presentation. For lighter diameters under 15lb test, soft is generally better for presentation purposes.
