LEAD CORE

[cheeseyrider]

Looking to replace some damaged lead core. Think it was Mason lead core which was pretty durable. Before I do what have members found to be durable good leadcore to use. I have found multiple brands ie Tuf Line leadcore, Mason which can be found but isn't readily available at a lot of stores or Sufix leadcore or Sufix advanced lead core ? Also I believe I bought 27lb test but am open to other ideas from members regarding what lb test to use. Thanks in advance for any advice offered

27# FishUSA leadcore like Scott suggested.

They carry Fish USA Stealthcore lead core which looks all black without different colors every 30', or Sufix 832 Advanced lead core , and Sufix Performance lead core. So which one is it you're recommending ? I Imagine your talking Fish USA STEALTHCORE

FIshUSA stealth core is what we are talking about.  Its black, and red.  It changes every 30'.  I used Suffix and wasn't thrilled with it.

I really liked the Blood Run 27lb lead core but it does not appear to be available anymore. I still have on several of my setups but have been replacing with the Fish USA Stealthcore as necessary. It seems to perform just as well.

Another thumbs up for 27lb stealth core no problems with it for walleyes and salmon and trout.

OK I'm sold on Fish USA. Glad I took the time to ask and save my self some grief with a poor line. Thanks to all that took the time to contribute. Question about using lead core. ? Some captains I hear using 1 color off the big boards or I guess small boards early for browns  Wouldn't it be easier to use a drop weight or 1/2 ounce split shot . First time fished Lake Erie for eyes last year n used that tactic off big boards with 2 n 3 ounce weights and worked good  Attached weight 100' or more back

Yup, just use a little weight. No need to dedicate a combo for that.
