John Coleman –
I use this leader with my Scandi shooting head #9. The color coding helps me quickly switch between sink rates. The 10′ length works well for both floating and deeper water conditions. The welded loop at the end makes rigging fast and reliable.
Gordon Wilkins –
Great addition to my spey line setup. The black S6 sink rate performs well in deeper water. The clear intermediate option is useful for mid-depth fishing. Easy to identify and adjust on the fly.
