Opsin Fluorocarbon Leader – 50 lb (0.59 mm)

Opsin Products

I have been using Opsin since May of 2021. I have used 6lb to 130lb. The product has worked great. Using Opsin, I have caught halibut, calico bass, yellowtail, dorado, bluefin and yellowfin. I don't plan on changing because the quality is some of the best I have used.

Really good quality flourocarbon line.. great knot strength and more flexible than the comparable stuff that I was using before. Caught my first striper using this leader also

50lb opsin is the bomb. You can really pull with confidence and it paid off for me on my 8 day trip on the Indy!! 104lbs!
