The Balzer Shirasu Fluorocarbon Line is a 100% fluorocarbon leader material designed for anglers wanting a strong, discreet connection between their mainline and lure or bait.
Unlike fluorocarbon-coated lines, Shirasu is manufactured from fluorocarbon throughout. Its light-refracting characteristics make the line virtually invisible underwater, making it particularly useful when fishing clear water or targeting cautious fish.
Supplied on a convenient 25m spool, it's ideal for making leaders and traces for trout, freshwater lure fishing and other applications where low line visibility is important.

100% Fluorocarbon
Shirasu is manufactured entirely from fluorocarbon, rather than using a fluorocarbon coating over another line material.
This means its key characteristics aren't dependent on an outer coating that can wear away with use.
Low Visibility Underwater
One of the key reasons anglers choose fluorocarbon is its low visibility beneath the surface.
Its light-refracting properties help make the leader considerably less conspicuous underwater, providing a discreet connection to your lure or bait.
This can be particularly useful in clear rivers, streams and lakes, or whenever fish are proving cautious.
Ideal for Trout Leaders
Shirasu is particularly well suited to making leaders for trout spinning and lure fishing.
Use it between your braided mainline and a spoon, spinner, soft plastic or other lure to gain the sensitivity and casting performance of braid while having a less-visible section of line close to the fish.
Convenient 25m Leader Spool
The compact 25m spool is ideal for keeping in your tackle box and provides enough material for multiple leaders.
Cut the leader length to suit your fishing technique, water clarity and conditions.
