There is no doubt in my mind, Ive used Jack Erskine's twisted leader for number of years without a complete failure...have had on strand cut and the other held...The last 30cm for the gill rakers and the rest of the leader about rod length to protect against barra doing any knitting amongst the trees. Im getting a new spin combo and am toying with going single strand 80lb Penn or Jenkai leader only time will tell.......Thanks for the reply Scott...Cheers Whitto
