GT leader size

Rohit Saqa Lal:
G'day folks
What breaking strain leader would you guys recomend on for PE5 gear and PE8+ gear. I am trying to determine if size 12 running guides would be too small

Rohit Saqa Lal:
Ahh....must be secret business this leader stuff.... ;D

C'mon fellas...some pointers please, if you dont feel comfortable posting then maybe pm

Brandon Khoo:
Rohit, the leader size you need is dependent on the terrain you are fishing. In Australia, we tend to fish some pretty ugly areas. For a twisted leader, I'd use 100-130lb and for a single strand, around 170- 200lb. That is for PE8. If PE10, I may go heavier. I don;t use PE5 for popping so I can't tell you on that one.

Rohit Saqa Lal:
Thank you Brandon, appreciate your assistance

AustralianAngling:
Line PE #8 or more double attached to 1m or so of 200 lb mono.
This is then crimped to leader on lure.
Lures are made up ready so can be cut off and new one crimped on quickly.
Lure leader materialis 400lb.
Pic shows leader lure connection.
This could be used in lower pound leader materials to suit your fishing.
