Going back to making my own saltwater leaders for striped ass, Albies and blues. This will be trial and error. I’ll let you know how I make out. I pick this material because this Cortland. Carbon is fantastic.
Using this leader material in conjunction with my new Cortland braided line. Can’t wait for opening day of trout in PA!
The XTR leader material is the best flouro for leaders I’ve ever used. Superior knot strength, abrasion resistant and paired with the Top Secret tippet you have a bulletproof system

For years I’ve used the top secret tippet for fly fishing and decided to try out some XTR for my salty adventures. So far It’s held up great against stripers, mackerel, blues, and a variety of others. Would definitely recommend over the competition.
Super tough line, holds up very well when I have clients dragging football head jigs over the zebra muscles beds in Lake Ontario for deep water smallmouth bass. Highly recommend it to any serious angler.
