These leaders are manufactured with medium stiff copolymer mono to make them track well in wind and with any type of fly. They have the same clear grey tint for low visibility. Protective UV resistant, waterproof packaging ensures that the product is of maximum strength when purchased.
These leaders are especially made to be lengthen by adding your desired dimension of tippet to it. These leaders have a long butt and taper section and short tip, this design gives you superior turnover and very delicate presentation of the fly. Just tie on a step down thinner tippet of 1-1,5m and you are good to go. For more flexibility and stronger connection, tie on a tippet ring and then the tip. This is especially important when using Fluorocarbon tippet on a mono leader due to diffrent hardness in the materials.
These leaders have a powerful turnover and it is no problem of lengthen the leader so total length is 13-14ft. If you want to have 18-20ft leaders check out the 12ft version of the leader. Long leaders, long tippets and delicate presentations far away from the impact of the fly line on the water is a very good way to get more fish.
