[#0000FF]Next chance we have to get together I will hand you off a sample of the Excalibur. I use 25# for leaders on Utah Lake and have never had a fish or snag break it. I have also used the 25# for leaders in salt water, catching numerous salmon, rockfish and big halibut on it. Never a break or chew-off...even with nasty toothy fishes.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I used to use 14# Excalibur for leaders on both Willard and Utah Lake. Setting the hook with heavy rod and line DID break me off on the hookset a couple of times with big fish at Utah Lake. But it was angler error...not line failure. I still use 14# for leader on Willard and have never had a failure there.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]So, I will be happy to provide you with samples of both sizes so you can make your own experiments and form your own opinion.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Are your boys ready for action this year? Hope they can score well in the contest again.
