Im sure it will work great for most fishing up north but would a pike or musky cut through it?
I've been using exclusively fluorocarbon leaders for Musky for the past 8 years or so. 30 is too light. I think mine are all 80 - 120. Never had a bite off. I'm not an expert, and I don't fish nearly as much as I'd like, or as much as some other guys do.
