Use this guide to select appropriate Dacron for splicing different sizes of leader material. • 200-pound Dacron works well with 400-, 500- or 600-pound mono and 480-, 600- or 920-pound cable. • 130-pound Dacron works well with 200-, 250- or 300-pound mono and 400-pound cable. • 80-pound Dacron works well with 150- or 175-pound mono and 275-pound cable. • 50-pound Dacron works well with 80-, 100- or 130-pound mono and 17-pound cable. • 30-pound Dacron works well with 50- or 60-pound mono. Due to ultra-thin diameters even at high pound-test ratings, braided Spectra sees limited use for splicing heavy wind-on leaders. Spectra rated at 130 pounds proves effective for splicing 50- or 80-pound monofilament.
