Is it (JB hollow) stretchable? I mean that one of the main purpose of shock leader is absorbing shock loads. I have never held JB in hands, but I always thought JB hollow braid made of Spectra was non-stretchable like PE...

hi Dmitrii, yes it's the hollow JB and i honestly don't think it's stretch-able.. i was just wondering if it can be an able replacement for FC/monofilament leaders.. i agree that the shock leaders main purpose is to absorb the shocks and truth be told, i'm just a little sceptical about replacing it with a hollow JB.. i guess there's only 1 way to find out  ;)

Mark Harris:
I can't  see how any braided mainline can be used as a leader? It doesn't stretch and has little abrasion resistance.

Robin Loi:
i agree with you, Mark. anyway, i will try it out...... just to kill the curiousity! haha!

Alex Jordan:
JB Hollow 130lb > Fisherman 240lb leader > Owner King Stain Swivel > Owner 11# Split Ring > Popper

Does the job :)
