Paul Young –
Used this leader in a rocky stream and found it made a sharp, accurate cast every time. The stiff butt gave good turnover and the tip drifted naturally. Great for tight spots where I needed to place flies precisely.
Edward North –
Felt a big difference in my casting accuracy in narrow sections of a creek. The 6ft length is just right for pocket water. No tangles, easy to handle and works well with both nymphs and dry flies.

Solid performance in fast-moving water. A bit stiffer than I expected, but that helped with turnover. Would recommend for close-range trout fishing in broken terrain.
