Anybody familiar with P-line products?  I got 25yrds of 30# fluorocarbon leader material that I intend on using for my jigging rod.  I have been told that the fluorocarbon leaders are fairly tough and abrasion resistant.  Since I like to catch Spanish a lot, I wanted something they wouldn't see but still had the strength to keep them from cutting my lines.  Any thoughts or opinions?  I noticed that the water clarity at the Pensacola pier is usually much clearer than what I was used to up in Virginia.

I like using mono/fluro for spanish, especially in clear water.  Sure you may have to re-tie your leader after a couple fish but I seem to have more hook ups.

I'm not an expert about this, but the only time I used P-line fluoro it yellowed on me not long after I bought it, and I've never had that problem with other fluoro products. I use Berkley vanish 14 and 20 lb for leaders mostly, but not for macks. I'd recommend another brand if you haven't opened it yet, 30-40 lb test sounds right though. For bottom fishing I use Sea-Gar or something like that from Wal-Mart and it's reasonably priced. Good luck, they should be here in good numbers soon.

I'm not familiar with P-Line but I, and everyone I fish with, use Seagar fluorocarbon. It's pricey but it's strong, stays pretty limber, I've never had any yellow and ties to braid well.

If you do not want to lose that big Spanish or any King that might happen by, us wire.

I agree w/ phil , or at least something heavier than 30#. I'd use 50, a stud spanish might still bite through, probably not but I lost a 4#er on 60 last year, and it was the first fish I hooked just my opinion

You had a Spanish bite through a 60# leader!  Wow, he must have hit your line just right to be able to do that.  I'll give it a go with the 30# I got for now and see how it goes, if I start loosing a lot of fish, I will probably take your guys' advice and go with wire.

that was the first time that's happened to me, he chewed through right before someone got a net, and he was a stud, but it happened. Unless it's crystal clear you won't have much of a problem w/ something heavier. Just my .02 and I look forward to meeting you on the pier
