Light Trout
Designed with greater suppleness and shock absorption for use on light lines. Floating, hover and intermediate leaders ensure the most delicate of presentations to spooky fish in lakes and spring creeks whilst the sinking versions allow nymphs to be fished at depth without adding weight to the fly or shot to the tippet. The 8’ models keeps the shadow of the line even further from the fly. Available in 5’ and 8’ lengths.
8lb strength.

Used this leader in a spring creek with spooky trout. The floating version worked perfectly for delicate presentations. The line stayed hidden and the fish reacted well. Great for light line setups.

Fished in a lake with a mix of species. The intermediate and sinking options helped me target deeper water without adding weight. The 8-foot version gave better line concealment.

Switched from mono to PolyLeaders and noticed a smoother cast and less line shadow. The sinking densities are very useful for varying depths in different waters.
