The leader casts smoothly even in windy conditions. The hand-tied loop makes rigging quick and easy. I’ve used it in lakes and it performs well with both streamers and indicators.
Kylie Lewis –
Great length for stillwater fishing. The taper helps with casting accuracy and the butt section holds up well under pressure. No tangles or breaks so far.
Katherine Ince –
Solid performance in practice. The flexibility in the tippet helps with sensitivity. A bit stiff at first, but settles in after a few casts.
Amelia Ross –
I bought a 3-pack and use one per trip. The perfection loop saves time when setting up. Works perfectly with my spinning gear and trout patterns.
