PENN Super X Elite Mono Leader Line – Clear

Premium mono shock leader with X-Tough coating for stealth, knot strength and abrasion resistance.

Tough structure, stealth presentation and reliable knots—PENN Super X Elite Mono Leader is built for Australian conditions. The clear X-Tough coating reduces underwater visibility while improving handling, so you can fish heavy cover, sharp reef and barnacle-covered pylons with confidence. A refined mono formula delivers the right amount of stretch to cushion head shakes and sudden strikes, protecting braid mainline and keeping hooks pinned.

Whether you’re casting metals to tailor and salmon from the beach, live-baiting mulloway in estuaries, or sending baits to snapper and kingfish offshore, Super X Elite gives you dependable abrasion resistance without going stiff or wiry. Supplied on a convenient wrist spool with a keeper band, it packs neatly in the tackle bag and feeds cleanly when you need to re-rig fast.

Is Super X Elite suitable for saltwater?
Yes. It’s designed for harsh saltwater environments with a clear, abrasion-resistant coating that stands up to reef and structure.

Can I use it with braided mainline?
Absolutely. The controlled stretch and high knot strength make it an ideal shock leader in front of braid.
