It will work.  The leader material is stiffer and more abrasion resistant.

I had a spool of 12 I used for leaders, liked it, didn't love it, didn't buy more

I use it as mainline sometimes and it's very good line, but it isn't leader...

I use the saeguar main line as leader for steelhead and walleye and have been doing so for years. It does the job very well and is cheap in comparison to the stuff they sell for leader material.

[justtracytrolling]

Just be aware that line is much less abrasion resistant than leader and by no means are the two comparable as leader if abrasion is an issue. If you are looking for a close substitute seaguar makes a flouro mainline, abrazx, and it is a much more durable alternative to invizx but not as soft and limp.

My findings conflict with that, I've found it to be pretty durable stuff over many many years. I've also found Abrazax to have poor breaking strength in comparison. Your mileage may vary.

Ever try invizx on tiger musky? Have your trolled tight structure where zebra mussels are present? I've had many failures with invizx as leader in these environments. Blue label or premier have yet to fail in either situation with in reason. Does invizx work... of course in most situations...is it cheaper....yes...is it as durable...NO. I know of several professional bass fisherman that use it as leader for its stretch, but they don't need exceptional abrasion resistance. At the end of the day if you save money and have no issues keep doing what you are doing....but take my word for it if you fish Otisco invizx will let you down eventually and truth be known the seaguar leader isn't a steel leader and it too will fail eventually.... everything works great up until it doesn't😀
