Berkley 4# Vanish works just fine for me. Shoot me a PM and I will drop one in the mail to you.

Remember the gel spun or Kevlar types will have no give....some find that a negative....
I make furled leaders also & for heavier weights I like 2lb mono or Fluro with one or 2 strands of 6 lb "Spider Wire" in the mix. You can almost swing on them & the spider wire does not increase the Dia. much at all & has no effect on the way the leader acts.
John thanks for the offer. I do have a bunch of Kevlar I bought years ago and never learned how to spin deer hair. Thak you everyone for the info.
