Thanks fella's 

JM Terminator = cheaper, thinner gauge, more supple than Varivas, Yo-zuri supples and the likes that I've used. Good stuff. Available at your local, good ones. They should market it as casting topwater leader.

On the subject of leaders, what is the main cause of the line catching/wrapping the first guide? My main line is suffix 832 50lb, this is fg knotted to 100 mono, has happened 3 times with different brands each time, resulting in a crack off each time (lucky to get lure back each time).

First thing I would try would be to shorten up the leader a bit. Nice and easy step. If that fails rip off 20m of braid and see what happens.

trying to cast to far with too much effort/force/speed can also cause it to do that.

I have a 4 or 5 metre trace with varivas Gt pe6 and 130 pound varivas leader...........never had that but then i have the KW fuji anti tangle guides on my synit topshot lalandi also.

Above is spot on....The last line...I dont agree with so much(i think its very effective.there is a video on you tube demonstrating how it works) .....well i have never had one and neither has arron and we both use synits with those KW guides.....on a side note......A useful thing i learned from somewhere else which might help you.........hang the lure ...close to half way down the rod when casting.......not up near the top............you have more of a pendulum type cast......so it will go further with less effort.......doing this way..........I dont even hear the PR knot go through the guides at all.......I do a 1 and a half to 2 inch PR knot......keep it short.......then i put uv knot sense over the half hitches and a light smear between fingers and fondle the PR itself........protects the whole knot and makes it slip through the guides better.....that knot aint going no where!....by keeping it short and putting uv knot sense on your knot......you can eliminate your knot catching on the guides.
