    i have been using the new greys shocker it is not the stiffest up to now is is good ,or try the tappered leaders bullit is the best i have used
    I thought about the Greys. Looks good stuff.
    I\'m a bit off the tapered leaders. They seem a bit short for a 13\' 6\" rod fished reel down. I\'ve just ordered a 15\' Century CM SRE, which would be even worse.
    I also had horrendous problems with the Daiwa tapered leaders a couple of years ago.
    Fishing a badly weeded beach the leader knot snapped as I was bringing in. The leader was mostly on the beach so I cleared the weed off the line and tried to retie it. The knot snapped everytime I tightened it up, with hardly any pressure at all. The problem was with the leader not the main line, \'cos if I took a new leader off the spool it was fine - until I reeled in a load of weed again, cut the knot out and tried to retie it. It broke every time. Might have been a bad batch, but it was a new spool of leaders. I binned the lot and never used it again.
    Cheers
