This time, we'll address a common question from anglers: "Can I use main line as leader/tip line?" We'll explain this from a fishing line manufacturer's perspective!

In short, it is possible to use main line as leader/tip line, and vice versa.

So why do manufacturers bother creating separate products for "main line" and "leader/tip line"?

The reason is that even with the same material, the "required performance" and "design philosophy" differ significantly.

This video explains:

• Whether it's okay to use main line/tip line as leader/tip line

• What are the differences between main line/tip line and leader/tip line?

• What performance aspects are emphasized for each?

• Why are they made as dedicated products?

• What does "dedicated product" mean to manufacturers?

• Things to be careful about when actually using them for a different purpose.




"Wouldn't it be more economical to use cheaper fluorocarbon main line for the leader?"

"Is it okay to use leader line as the main line?"

This video is a must-see for anyone with these kinds of questions!

Also, the manufacturer's recommended uses aren't always the only way to go.

I believe that understanding the characteristics of each line and finding the right way to use it for your own fishing style is part of the fun of fishing.

I hope this video will be helpful in your line selection!
