No Frills,
Pocket Easy
The Okamoto A-EX Super Soft Leader
lines are no frills low budget leader
lines or rather low priced leader lines
that are available in the market. They
are as the name implies, soft of which is
softer than most monofilament leaders
available in the market. Soft also means
better manageability.
The Okamoto A-EX Super Soft Leader
lines claims to be made in Japan and
perhaps is made in Japan as there are
a lot of soft lines that are coming out
of Japan. Most of these lines are thinner and softer with some not achieving
their specified break strengths.
The A-EX leader line is also thinner in
diameter as compared to many of the
lines that are available in the market
that are of the same poundage. This
lead me to think that perhaps the A-EX
too is not really to specs.
