YGK X-BRAID UP-G Leader V12 Hard — Features & specifications
YGK XBRAID’s UP-G LEADER V12 HARD is a fluorocarbon leader designed with an emphasis on knot performance and consistent strength. Featuring the α1+ special manufacturing process, it delivers approximately 1.3 times the strength and approximately 5% reduced line diameter compared with the manufacturer’s previous products. Despite its slimmer diameter, it provides the strength required of a leader.
Made from fluorocarbon with a specific gravity of 1.78, it offers a uniform finish with reduced diameter variation and excellent suppleness. Careful attention has also been paid to surface smoothness, making it easy to tie knots when connecting to PE line. During high-tension, long fights, it is less prone to kinking and exhibits strong recovery after being subjected to load. Available in 30 m natural-color spools, it comes in sizes from No. 0.4 to No. 7, allowing you to select the appropriate size according to the PE line, lure, and field conditions. This model is designed for use as a leader tied to the end of the main line in saltwater lure fishing.
