Mike,

I went with Sandy's recommendation of Frog Hair copolymer about 2 years ago and have no intention of changing.  It just works for me!

For me it's Rio co-polymer.

Been using it for years. Its reliable and has small diameter and good knot strength. There are probably other makes equally as good but I stick with what I know I can rely on.

Gran Rivage Max or whatever its call, you know the stuff 6lbs. Not a breakoff or anything!

Hi Mike, it's flouro  , never tried the copoly,I still like the green drennan in 4lb for dries tho, it seems to cut through the water fine

cheers

Without question for me it has to be Uncle Jacks Fluoro, two fish hook ups & still not been broken off, excellent knot strength, only problem is my stock is starting to run low & am having a problem finding more.

Your very own brand of leader material Mike,   of which I have probably got enough to last next season. After that who knows?

[Jim Eddie]

I've used the Fulling Mill Fluro in 5/6 & 7lb , I like it its stiif and have had no problems with breakages.

Hate the Frog Hair , just kept breaking on me.

Still a fan of Maxima, Ultra Green.

I'm using Fulling Mill copoly but i'm having probs with droppoers twisting around main leader so might look at something else.

Dave

You will always get droppers twisting round the leader , its nothing to do with the leader material. I suffer from it as well , just tie shorter droppers. the fish don't mind

Frog Hair copolymer for me. If you use the sixteen-twenty knot (also known as the Pitzen Knot) you should have no trouble with the know slipping etc. This is shown on the Frog Hair website.

As far as I am concerned it is the best for suppleness,therefore great for long leaders and good drifts. Also diameter to breaking strain is very good and I find that it does not kink too easily.It stretches but not too much and I don't suffer breakages due to the properties of the product.

Hope you guys had a good season in the North-East. Apart from 2 forays to the Don and a couple of trips to the Eden my season was a wash out.

Roll on the Spring and (hopefully) a lot more fishing next year!
