Used this leader for a week on a clear spring creek. The fish didn’t seem to notice it at all. It held up well under heavy drag when using large streamers. Very reliable and performs as described.

Switched from nylon to this fluorocarbon leader. It sinks faster and feels more responsive. The fish are less likely to spook, especially in clear water conditions.

Good quality and durable. A bit more expensive than nylon, but the performance difference is noticeable. Works well for nymphing and streamers in stillwater.
