I've used and abused Seguar for leaders on Steelies and lake trout for about three years now. This stuff is a great leader material. It's admittedly a little more difficult to deal with than regular leaders like Maxima.

The best knot I've used on Seguar is the uni-knot. Four turns and call it good. Studies have also been done relevant to FC on lubricating the knot to allow for the best knot strength. If you use water or saliva it's recommended to use it VERY liberally. Sometimes I use oily attractant scents for this purpose and seems to work well. The egg loop knot holds just as good as regular mono. When pulling the line through the egg loop knot, make certain you lube it or you will abrade the line.

I've used at least five other brands of FC to include Vanish (the worst IMHO), Stren, Orvis, Umpqua, and Climax. None of these even holds a close second to Seguar. I've also used 2,4 6,8,10 and 12 pound lines. Seguar is the most consistent from my experience. As you can probably tell from the line weights, I have used this for fly fishing and also drift fishing.

I've also used Mason for Salmon fishing. Seems to me they carry it at Holiday Sports in Burlington (Just off I-5 at the Hwy 20 exit).

Tight Lines!
