SEAGUAR UNVEILS BIG GAME GOLD LABEL, A LEADER MATERIAL DESIGNED FOR THE BIGGEST AND MEANEST FISH

Posted on: Sep 30, 2025

Louisville, KY (June 2025) The goal of all fishing is to catch the biggest fish, but that becomes increasingly difficult with larger, smarter, and more line-shy species. Since its release in 2018, Seaguar Gold Label fluorocarbon leader material has become the true "gold standard" for anglers looking for the thinnest and strongest 100% fluorocarbon leader material to fool these fish.

 

Previously, the popular Gold Label leader material was offered from 6 lb. up to 80 lb. test. Now, Gold Label fluorocarbon will also be available from 100 lb. to 200 lb. test to meet the demand from offshore anglers targeting large, pelagic saltwater species

 

"Big Game Gold Label is the result of the incredible success of our Gold Label leader material in saltwater and freshwater," said Gerry Benedicto, General Manager of Seaguar. "Because of its thinner diameter, anglers all across the country have found success using it on highly-pressured species; in clear water and on finicky leader-shy fish. With the new Big Game sizes, we’re providing an option for giant pelagic fish with large eyes that can see even better."

 

Big Game Gold Label is a 100% fluorocarbon leader material made from exclusive Seaguar resins. Available in 100, 130, 150, 180 and 200 lb. test, it is part of the Gold Label family of the thinnest and strongest leader material Seaguar has ever made. It’s known for exceptional knot and tensile strength and impressive abrasion resistance.

 

During the development of Big Game Gold Label, anglers from different regions tested it on several species, including tuna, marlin, swordfish, and bottom species. It was praised for its thin diameter, abrasion resistance, performance when tying connection knots, and ability to splice with hollow-core braids like Seaguar Threadlock.

 

 

Among those who tested the line were Ali Hussainy, co-host of the Local Knowledge show and Mark Davis of Big Water Adventures. Both hosts rely on their equipment to film their shows for a living, and Big Game Gold Label passed their test with flying colors.

 

"The new sizes bring the same thin diameter and suppleness that I've come to trust from Gold Label, and after testing it, I can confidently say that it's my favorite fluorocarbon for wind-on leaders and big offshore fish," said Hussainy. "It provides the traditional benefits of a fluorocarbon leader but with thinner diameters and reliable performance."

 

Mark Davis, who averages more than 50 saltwater species each year traveling from Alaska to Australia while filming Big Water Adventures TV, says Gold Label leader makes all the difference in many situations.  "I use the heck out of the smaller sizes of Gold Label, and everything about those pound classes has been excellent. You can truly go up one size compared to what you normally do and not sacrifice any performance," said Davis. "Now, we have the larger sizes for bigger species, and you have the same manageability that makes all Gold Label so good. Plus, the ability to go up a size will allow you to land more fish because of the strength and abrasion resistance. When the fish are line shy, you will flat out get more bites with a smaller diameter line."

 

Seaguar Big Game Gold Label will be available in 25-yard coils of 100, 130, 150, 180, and 200-lb tests, with an MSRP starting at $88.50 beginning in January 2026.
