I use Vanish for the 20lbs, 40lbs leaders.
I have tried a few different 80lb brands - Seaguar are the ones which seem the toughest ...... but can't find it in smaller tests.
I tie my spinner harnesses with 20lb Vanish ..... never had a problem ..... but with the smaller line weights, you have to check for knicks every once in a while.
The 40lb is for lakers / gerhards when trolling (the stiffer, and more uniformed, ultra clear) leader material is what I use.
The 80lb is for my crank baits targeting Pike.
I have never had a break off with leader material. I'm sure if you keep using a lighter 20lb and try and wrestle pike after pike and don't replace it when it knicks too deeply, it might break ..... but never had this issue really.
