VARIVAS Shock Leader Fluorocarbon Fishing Line
Engineered by VARIVAS, the Shock Leader Fluorocarbon Fishing Line is developed for anglers demanding elite strength, precision knot integrity, and long-term durability, making it ideal for both saltwater and freshwater applications. Featuring 100% fluorocarbon construction, this leader excels in scenarios where ultimate abrasion resistance and low visibility are essential.
Recommended Environment
Optimised for diverse Australasian conditions, the VARIVAS Shock Leader Fluorocarbon Fishing Line performs exceptionally in surf casting, on rocky headlands, offshore reefs, tidal estuaries, tranquil lakes, and deep impoundments. The high sink rate and near-invisible presentation make it the preferred choice for clear water situations and structure-rich territory where fish can be wary and abrasion is a constant threat.
Target Species
Saltwater:
- Snapper, Kingfish, Tuna – offshore reefs, headlands, and open pelagic waters
- Flathead, Bream, Whiting – sandy estuaries, tidal flats, and nearshore beaches
- Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Trevally – tropical rivers, creek mouths, and estuarine channels
- Mulloway, Tailor, Australian Salmon – surf zones, river mouths, and rocky coastlines
Freshwater:
- Murray Cod, Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Eel-tailed Catfish – inland rivers, dams, and impoundments
- Australian Bass, Estuary Perch – freshwater reaches, rivers, and backwaters
- Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Redfin – lakes, tailraces, and coldwater streams
Model / Variant Breakdown
Available in multiple breaking strains such as 22lb (0.40mm diameter, suitable for general estuary work and light offshore targets) and 50lb (engineered for heavy reef fishing, hard-fighting pelagics, or snag-ridden coastal zones). Lighter variants cater to finesse presentations and spooky fish, while heavier options withstand brutal runs and harsh terrain.
