3-4lb Nitlon for me.

I really like Nitlons new packaging design as well. You no longer need to crimp the leader end in the keeper to stop it from unrolling.

I think most people prefer FC Rock though. Expecting most BM'ers below me to say FC Rock ;-)

3-8lb generally, will only ever go 8lb if i am horsing big bream out of snags, pylons ect. Probably a bit of overkill for general breaming, anything from 3-6lb is the go mate I'm one of the many on here who love FC Rock

fc rock and nitlon are great for bream in 3 and 4lb. both are readily available, great lines, strong, abraisive, good knot strength and cost effective. im using berkley vanish in 8 and 12lb for flatties and jewies and it is bullet proof. very sniff but so strong its unbelievable.

I really love using 6 pound leader because it is good for all round breaming.
