This polyleader performed well in heavy rain conditions. The 40lb core handled large flies without breaking. The fast sink rate helped me reach deeper water quickly. Easy to tie on and the welded loop stayed secure during long casts.
Nicholas Brown –
Good strength and sink rate. I used it with 18lb tippet and it held up well. The extra fast sink option is useful when targeting deeper runs. A bit stiff at first, but settles in after a few casts.
Simon Simpson –
Fished in a fast current and the polyleader stayed intact. The 3-inch per second sink rate helped me keep up with the current. No slippage or breakage even with heavy flies. Highly recommended for salmon and steelhead.
