PB Products Shield Snagleader - 80m - 45lb - Green

This material is optimized for snag resistance rather than distance casting. The diameter is thicker than standard shock leaders to ensure it can withstand abrasive surfaces.

Yes, when paired with a properly adjusted lead-safe system, the leader allows the fish to rid itself of the lead should the line break, ensuring high safety standards.

We recommend the Slim Beauty or the Albright knot for a strong, reliable join that passes smoothly through the rod rings.

Typically, an 8- to 10-meter length is sufficient to cover the area likely to come into contact with snags during the initial stages of the fight.

The light green colour is specifically chosen to camouflage the leader against lake weeds and silt, making it one of the least visible heavy-duty options on the market.

Ensure you are using a recommended knot such as the Slim Beauty and that you lubricate the line with saliva or water before tightening the coils.

While highly abrasion-resistant, constant rubbing against sharp zebra mussels will eventually take a toll. Inspect the first 1-2 meters after every capture and trim back to the undamaged section.

If the leader has been stored in extreme heat, it may become stiffer. Stretching the leader slightly under tension before fishing can help restore its intended suppleness.
