Product Description

Tough fish. Rocks and Wicked structure. No problem. This genuine 100% fluorocarbon leader material delivers incredible abrasion resistance and maximum impact and knot strength, all with a smaller line diameter than monofilament. This fast-sinking line gets you in the "strike zone" quicker, and with a lower refractive index than monofilament, it is significantly less visible underwater.

I've been fishing 30 years now. Ive used just about every kind of leader and brand. Mono and fluorocarbon.Seaguar has multiple different types of leader / labels. I've used blue , gold , red , pink , premiere and few others. This has been the best leader I have used out of their line up ( orange label / sts )Not only is it 100 yards but it's far cheaper then their other labels. $12 to $22 for the most part vs $50 to 60 vs blue label.Using this leader for a few solid years now This leader is a little stiffer then their other labels but I prefer that especially for inshore fishing where most the fish have teeth or Gill plates that can rough up a leader in no time. Especially snook.I recommend stop wasting your money with the other labels from seaguar and use this stuff.HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I use this line (STS Salmon Orange label) for ocean fishing tuna, yellowtail, Rockfish, Lingcod and everything else in the Pacific. It has always held up to EVERTHING and I have never had it fail on me. I caught a 115 pound Blue Fin Tuna last year with it! This is my go to leader line from now on. You will NOT find a better line for the money...PERIOD!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars STS 6lbs leader review
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024
Style: 100% FluorocarbonSize: 6lb 100ydVerified Purchase
Fished the same Reservoir with 6lbs XL, Vanish, Diawa, and STS. STS produced the most hits at 17. Others lines mentioned in the past could barely get 10 between everyone casted out.
Great for knots, strength, and invisibility on calm, clear, cloudy, or windy days. If the bite was there. This was giving us our best odds. Especially with how light a lake trout can hit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth It For One True Thing
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2014
Style: 6-poundsSize: 20-Pound/100-YardVerified Purchase
I posted a review of Seaguar's STS in a different product review area, for the lighter weights in which STS is offered. I'll summarize it here:

I like this line. It's not more abrasion resistant as far as I can tell, and it's less abrasion resistant than Berkley PRO Spec fluorocarbon leader material, but sadly, Amazon is not offering PRO Spec.

It is no more supple in cold water than other fluorocarbons. That's not bad, I just hoped it would be more pliable than others.

It's hard to tell if it sinks faster than other fluorocarbons. Salmon and steelhead rigs are heavy in and of themselves, and sink mighty quickly regardless of the line I use.

However, it ties knots better - more reliably - than any other fluorocarbon line I've tried, equal to Berkley's PRO Spec. I rarely see the stress/friction curly-cues that seem to be more common when tightening down a knot in a fluorocarbon line than they are with knots tied with nylon and copolymer lines.

Reliable knots have always been the weak link with fluorocarbon lines. It seems to me that STS is a big leap forward for knot strength and knot reliability, and that makes STS worth every penny of the premium price.

It's no more pliable when fished in frigid water. It hasn't demonstrated any better abrasion resistance than other premium fluorocarbons. It's definitely right up there matching the best characteristics of any retail fluorocarbon line available.

But it ties great knots. I don't commit to fishing lines, but STS is one I'll keep using.

I bought this line before for leader material for salmon fishing. I ran out and went to my local shop to buy more and the price was triple the price as the product on Amazon. I bought 2 and still saved money. Highly recommend the line as it never tangles or twists and is tough. Easy to work with for tying setups.
