Works great and no issues here. However, last time on the water I took with me a 2 lb seaguar fluoro leader bought on our domestic US market with the same specs at least on the package than the varivas leader .. I.e 2 lb with 0.117 mm diameter and the knot kept slipping?!? Do you think it’s because of a different coating, flexibility of materials used etc ... I retied everything with a double uni knot instead and worked like a charm ....

I did not address the coatings on ester lines. The Varivas I believe has the fluoride coating......which is extremely slick....that’s why it casts coast to coast.....LOL. Other ester lines use similar type coatings to make them slick. Not sure what coatings may be used on the FC leader lines.
