Hi lonehunter,
This leader ought to be a killer for both muskie and sturgeon. You can check out the details at www.tygerleader.com but just to give you an idea the 70lb rated stuff I used was a braided (49 strands!!!) line of stainless steel with what seemed like a thin vinyl coating but not sure on the coating. If it's stainless it shoudn't need coated. Right?
The diameter is a mere .030 which is equivalant to a medium grade 30lb mono.
Tough, no, tougher than nails but you can tie almost any knot you want in it and the knot holds. I used a double cinch knot most of the time.
What's the drawback. Wanna cut this stuff to length? Ha! You better have the biggest, baddest pair of dikes you've ever owned!!!!! ha ha
Otherwise, awesome product and a must for the salt and them tiger muskies!
