4lb/6lb leader??

[Jean-Luc]

hi everyone,
ive been fishing 6lb leader for bream, i was wondering if it is to heavy? i fish maily around pontoons with plastics, flats with surface, and anywere else i would use a hardbody. i have just puchased some 4lb leader and am hoping that it will get me some more bream. do you fish 4lb or 6lb, and which would you mind most productive

thanks

I always fish 6lb leader, except when I'm fishing fluro straight through. I fish the same country you have just mentioned and catch just as many fish as my mate fishing next to me with 4lb.... really dont think it makes that much difference.

I fish with 6lb fc rock, Always. I find it super strong and its a bit thinner then nitlon 6lb. I do all my flicking with it with my light rod from bream to trev/flatties. I fish similar structure as mentioned also.

my mates and I go as light as 2lb in the same canals you fish, usualy for bream i go 3lb or 6lb

6lb should be fine mate, i usually fish 6lb around this kind of structure, used to always fish 3-4lb but now prefer to 6lb unless i'm fishing super clear water or shallows the i will drop down.

Thanks everyone

if i decided to fish fluro straight through would 4lb be a good size, or lower?

[welshy22]

4lb sounds good, have you got a spare spool to load with fluro than quick enough swap over to braid ?

3lb mate

I got a spare spool

[Breamobsession]

Go 3lb mate.

3lb...i have both 2 and 3 spooled and use both but if i could only choose 1 would prob go the 3. sunline sniper fc!

[youngfisherman]

Go the 3lb mate! I used to have 2lb spooled but got sick of retying after pretty much every fish. I now have 3lb and it's much, much better.

I will definitely be looking at getting some 3 lb

[Daiwarockz]

straight through 3lb would be perfect for what we fish for unless the big flattie comes alone and eates a bream plastic eg. shrimp

[Daiwarockz]

does fluro affect surface lures eg. pull them under?
