When the leader is likely to rub against cover or structure, stepping up the terminal connection can give the rig more abrasion resistance and strength. The Vicious Mono Leader 40 lb Test combines those qualities with the stretch and sensitivity of clear monofilament, giving anglers a heavier leader option for demanding fishing applications.

Rig this heavier mono as the terminal section when abrasion becomes an important part of leader selection, such as presentations worked around rock, wood, and other structure. It also gives braid users a way to keep the low-stretch main line on the reel while adding a clear monofilament section with more stretch at the terminal end. Inspect the leader after hard contact and retie damaged sections as needed.
Add it to the line bag for rigs where cover, structure, and abrasion call for a heavier terminal connection than your everyday leader setup.
A heavier leader is worth considering when abrasion, structure, target fish, or the overall tackle setup makes lighter leader material less appropriate. Match leader strength to the complete rig and the conditions you are fishing.
Yes. Monofilament can be used as the terminal section of a braid-to-leader setup, allowing you to keep braid as the main line while adding the characteristics of mono near the lure or rig.
Abrasion resistance becomes particularly relevant when the leader can contact hard or rough cover and structure. Inspect the working section after contact and replace it if you find nicks, rough spots, or other damage.
Vicious specifies strength, abrasion resistance, stretch, and sensitivity as characteristics of this clear mono leader. That combination makes it an option when you want a separate monofilament terminal section instead of fishing the main line directly to the rig.
