What brands do you guys like for leaderline? Last season, I ran 40 lb Maxima for an all purpose sort of line, mostly anchovies, and it was great. That said, it's a little expensive. Any suggestions?
 
For hootchies I use 40 lb Charterline. Anchovies, cutplugs and spoons I use 15 lb Maxima.
 
I'm satisfied with the 40 pound Maxima, but rather than buy it in the small (and expensive) 'leader' packages, I take an old line spool into the tackle shop and they load it up with 50 or 60 yards off the bulk reel. A lot cheaper way to do it.
 
40# Ande is great just as good as Maxima and a fraction of the price.

the higher knot strength is nice too, make sure you get it nice and wet when your tying your gear I tighten my knots in my mouth to keep the friction down needs a little more lube than mono, I think the stiffer leader gives the gear better presentation and it's tough you can catch hog after hog on the same leader it doesn't stretch and weaken like mono. probably shouldn't jinx myself but I've never had a leader break in 4 years
