Fluorocarbon and nylon for surfcasting leaders

As with lure fishing, surfcasters use leaders. Whether for discretion or bait presentation, they are of considerable importance. They also allow you to lose as little line as possible in the event of breakage.

They are usually made from fluorocarbon or nylon. They must be abrasion-resistant to resist rubbing against rocks or shells. Fluorocarbon or nylon for surfcasting is available in different diameters to best present the baits used by anglers. It's up to you to choose the right diameter for the species you're after.

Line bodies for surfcasting

The fluorocarbons and nylons used in surfcasting are packaged in 1000m spools to fill the large spools of surfcasting reels. This allows long casting distances to be achieved effortlessly.

The filaments used must therefore be very flexible to slide as well as possible in the rings. Some are more or less elastic depending on the species you are looking for and the biotope.

When fishing in crowded environments, choose a line body with low elasticity to be able to restrain the fish. On the other hand, a line body with greater elasticity will be able to absorb fish head-butts. This will prevent many fish from stalling.
