Formerly known as 'Grand Max Soft Plus'
This is the leader material we personally use whenever fluorocarbon is appropriate - a choice made on the basis of very extensive experience in the field and backed up by the findings of the exhaustive and highly regarded 'Tippet Shootout' conducted by Yellowstone Angler in the US. To give some idea of the performance of Grand Max the following is extracted from the results (as tested, not from the manufacturers!) published in Fly Fisherman magazine:
Grand Max diameter - .187 mm breaking strain - 7.01lbs
Rio Fluoroflex diameter - .187 mm breaking strain - 5.62 lbs
Airflo SightFree G3 diameter - .185 mm breaking strain - 5.84 lbs
Orvis Mirage diameter - .187 mm breaking strain - 6.61 lbs
Manufacturers figures for Fulling Mill World Class fluorocarbon are:
diameter - .195 mm breaking strain - 5.0 lbs
Whilst fully understanding that different people 'get on better' with different leader materials the stats seem to speak for themselves and in our opinion Grand Max Soft Plus is 'simply the best'. Although it's not cheap, if it puts extra fish in the net the price premium is a worthwhile investment. Net yourself the 20% reduction during July - discounted prices shown below.
