Fluorocarbons

Fluorocarbon leaders form an invisible connection between the main braided line and the lure. Thanks to a refractive index very similar to water, they do not attract the attention of cautious predators, and their higher density ensures they cut through the water column quickly. These materials excel in high abrasion resistance, which is crucial when coming into contact with rocks, mussel beds, or submerged timber.

When choosing a leader, the target fish species and line diameter play the main role. Universal models provide a reliable compromise between strength and suppleness, while special versions work with advanced camouflage for extremely clear water, or use specific colors for better visual control over the rig.

Universal fluorocarbons

• Sunline Fluorocarbon Siglon FC 50 m – a reliable 100% fluorocarbon with a balanced ratio of strength and softness. The resin processing technology ensures zero water absorption and a wide range of applications, from finesse fishing to fishing for pike and strong saltwater predators.
• Sunline Fluorocarbon Tornade V HARD 50 m – the absolute technological peak with a hard polymer layer for extreme durability. Despite its surface hardness, it remains flexible enough so that it does not restrict the lure's action and does not deform at the knot.

Specialty and camouflage leaders

• Sunline Fluorocarbon Small Game Leader SV-1 30 m – a light spinning leader with a pink color that is highly visible above the water, but invisible to fish. It makes detecting subtle bites and tying knots in the dark easier, excellent for micro jigs and fishing for trout or perch.
• Sunline Shooter FC Sniper Invisible 75 m – a premium fluorocarbon line using an alternation of five natural shades to perfectly break up its silhouette. It represents an ideal solution for sight fishing and targeting very cautious fish in perfectly clear water.

Tip: For finesse fishing for trout and perch, choose diameters up to 0.20 mm; for zander, 0.30–0.35 mm is suitable. As an ideal compromise on waters with the occasional presence of pike, a diameter of 0.45 mm has proven effective, as it does not restrict the action of smaller lures, while for targeted pike fishing, go straight for a diameter of 0.60 mm and thicker, making sure to carefully check the leader after every caught toothy predator.
