Gordon Dowd –
Used this leader for bass fishing in a slow-moving stream. The taper helped the fly move naturally and stayed on the water longer. The nylon is strong and didn’t fray after several casts.
Piers Coleman –
Good durability and smooth performance when casting. Works well with streamers and big dries. A bit stiff at first, but settles into the action after a few uses.
Joshua Baker –
Fished in a lake with mixed bass conditions. The abrasion resistance held up well against rocks and weeds. Easy to tie on and performs consistently.
