0.93 mm Ā· 30 m and 110 m
At 0.93 mm, Opsin 100 lb keeps the leader light in the water and easy on a live bait without giving up the abrasion resistance and pulling power you step into 100 lb for. Slow-extruded in Japan for consistent diameter, clean handling, and dependable connections when the fish finally turns its head.
Thin for 100. Supple enough to fish right. Ready when the drag comes up.
Rigging note: Match sleeve and crimp cavity to the measured 0.93 mm diameter. Start by bench-testing a Diamond Aluminum Silver Lock M sleeve at 1.1 mm, then pull-test the complete system before fishing.
The material
This is the first true step into Opsin Big Game, but it should still fish clean. The slow Japanese extrusion keeps the 0.93 mm profile uniform and the surface smooth, so the leader moves naturally, seats predictably in the right sleeve, and does not bring extra bulk to the bait.
You get real 100 lb leader performance in a profile that still lets you fish a sardine, mackerel, or big bait without turning the leader into the presentation.
A controlled process helps keep the diameter uniform and the surface clean.
Less unnecessary bulk in the leader, with serious big-game capability.
Lets live bait move naturally instead of dragging a stiff leader through the water.
Consistent diameter supports repeatable sleeve selection and crimp setup.
Field proof
The bite is only the start. What matters is how the leader behaves after the fish turns, the drag settles in, and every connection has to keep doing its job.
Where 100 lb fits
100 lb is the finesse end of the Big Game lineup: the clean step up when 80 lb is no longer enough, but bait presentation and lighter drag settings still matter.
| Line class | Diameter | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 100 lbYou are here | 0.93 mm | The thinnest Big Game profile for natural bait presentation and lighter drag |
| 130 lb | 1.06 mm | Finesse-minded heavy tackle and cleaner bait presentation |
| 150 lb | 1.18 mm | Heavy tuna and versatile big-game rigging |
| 170 lb | 1.28 mm | More abrasion margin and higher-drag applications |
| 200 lb | 1.44 mm | Heavy drag, bigger hardware, and more insurance when the leader gets rubbed |
| 250 lb | 1.57 mm | Heavy leader work where abrasion margin matters more than finesse |
| 300 lb | 1.84 mm | Maximum leader class for the heaviest tackle and highest-abrasion rigging |

āUse Opsin from 2 to 180 lb. Trout to tuna. Works great, holds, stealth and gets bites when the bites are hard to come by.ā

Size the sleeve to the measured diameter, not just the pound-test. Opsin 100 lb is 0.93 mm. Diamondās published guide places its Aluminum Silver Lock M sleeve at 1.1 mm for 0.75ā1.0 mm mono or fluorocarbon, making it the cleanest first bench test.
The sleeve should thread without shaving the leader and should not feel sloppy before compression. Match it to the manufacturerās crimper cavity and pull-test the finished leader.
Diamond publishes the M sleeve for 0.75ā1.0 mm mono or fluorocarbon with its Mini-Press and CN-10 guides. At 0.93 mm, it is the cleanest documented starting point.
Only use an alternate sleeve when its manufacturer publishes a diameter range that covers 0.93 mm. Treat it as a separate setup: match the cavity, reset pressure, and pull-test.
Deckhand note: At 0.93 mm, do not size the sleeve from the 100 lb label alone. If the leader takes force to thread, stop. If it swims inside the sleeve before crimping, the fit is too loose. Test the exact leader, sleeve, tool, and pressure you plan to fish.
The 30 m coil is the clean choice for a trip bag or a handful of leaders. The 110 m crew coil drops the cost per metre and makes sense when you rig often, carry backups, or prep for a full season.
Keep it clean, dry, and out of prolonged light and heat. Return the coil to the UV-blocking metallized bag between trips and avoid kinking it under hard tackle.
