I usually ignore reviews in the mags but following a good review of this leader in TSF I decided to give it a go as I was ordering from Veals anyway. This is the best shockleader I have used. Absolutely no memory, good knot strength and is supple as well as being good for abrasion resistance. It has a bit of stretch but if you're wellying a cast out I think some stretch is important. Not cheap at £6.95 for 100m and a shame you have to buy it mail order through Veals but I'll be sticking to it and ordering more next time I place an order for other goodies.
