Been a long time since I bought any leadcore. Just rigged up a three color for my local ponds and I had some old Mason I used. Not impressed at all with the sheathing. Looking for standard 27 lb core. Any suggestions on the best brand for short cores?

Thanks

Hopped on the Stealthcore bandwagon this spring and not a fan for short cores - usually if I get something in the bottom the 12# leader breaks - I had multiple breaks in the 18# leadcore itself versus the 12 or 10# leader this spring.  Always had decent luck with the standard Sufix Leadcore over the years and almost never have had that sheathing break unless that core was extremely old.  My 2 cents.

Well that's unfortunate. We've been running the 27lb Stealthcore for a long time and I've never had it break. I don't know anyone running the 18lb though.

Thanks guys. I don't need stealth and I don't need micro just quality. looks like I'll give the Stealthcore a shot.

Thanks again for all your suggestions. :yes: Water is getting piss warm here and I got to set up a 4 and 5 color to reach the fish.

I like the 18 for BTs - possible I got a bad batch maybe?   Could have gotten cut by mussels or something as well I suppose.

I will say the suffix 832 leadcore has been treating me well for the past season, it’s definitely different than regular leadcore though so there is a bit of a learning curve
