KastKing DuraBlend Monofilament Fishing Line - Saltwater Mono Leader Line

I am very pleasantly surprised by this mono leader line. I use expensive top brand fluoro for all my leaders other than for bottom fishing, but this is making me rethink my investment. I purchased the 50lbs version of this line to make dropper loop rigs for bottom fishing. Immediately from touching this line, I knew this material was superior to any other mono I had used. Pros: - smaller diameter. The 50lbs line was 0.60mm, which is equivalent to top brand 40lbs fluoro leader at 0.62mm. - supple/low memory compared to other mono lines. If you're using a spinning reel, this does not fly off your spool as easily as how flouro or thick mono lines does. - very clear. Side by side comparison to regular mono shows a noticeable clarity difference, and *gulp* almost as clear as fluoro. Cons: - Might break at the knot easier. By a simple pulling test a few times, I broke the line at the knot (dropper loop knot and perfection knot) at a lower weight than on the same test for other 50lbs mono line. The suppleness of the line might make for a tight knot, but I suspect it might also constrict it so tight that it makes the line prone to breaking at the knot. This likely will depend on what knot you use so may not be applicable to everyone. I am not replacing my 50lbs fluoro leader line just yet but considering that this is the same diameter as 40lbs fluoro for a fraction of the cost, I am sure I will be adding more spools to my arsenal in the near future.

Excellent, recommended.

Works great, nice strength, good price.

Easy to tie but does have a tendency to twist on itself off the spool. Has held up so far after 2 weeks of fishing.

Great fishing line for leader, it isn’t stiff like other brands that I have used in the past.

Great leader line

This momo was really good and worked well with my 20lb and 30lb braided lines.

Ive been usingvthis stuff for years and I really like the way it cinches down on hooks and swivels especially for 80 lb. I fish catfish tournaments and this is the only leader line I use and so far I have no complaints and the price is hard to beat!

Strong line , excellent price for excellent Quality Thanks

Great for trace making

Did not come on a spool...it unwinded quickly and became a mess

I bought this line as a mono leader to attach to my braid speed-jigging line (30 lbs), and it has fulfilled my expectations. It's quite limp, so takes a knot well, but seems very tough and abrasion resistant - speed jigging is hard on gear, and I need a leader line that gives me confidence. This is it - strong, low-stretch and clear in the water - and cheaper than flouro! Great spool too, keeping the line from escaping. Recommended.
