This leader performs well in cold, flowing water. The knot strength holds up even when wet, and the leader doesn’t absorb water like others I’ve tried. The packaging is also a nice touch—easy to recycle and doesn’t pollute the environment.
Donna North –
I used it during a morning trout run and found it very effective in reaching tight pockets. The leader stays flexible and doesn’t fray. A small improvement in knot strength over previous models.

The biodegradable packaging is a big plus. I appreciate the environmental effort. The leader is compact and delivers flies precisely to the target zone without snagging.
