Ava Wilkins –
Used this leader for a weekend trip in windy conditions. It held up well under heavy streamers and didn’t kink or break. Very reliable for casting large flies in gusty weather.
Jonathan MacLeod –
Felt stiffer than expected, which helped with casting big terrestrials. Works well with bass bugs and didn’t fray after several uses.
Joe MacLeod –
