Used this leader on a spring creek with small stoneflies. The presentation was incredibly smooth and the fish reacted naturally. No tangles or drag during the cast. Highly recommended for stillwater fishing.
Thomas Walker –
Perfect for delicate fly patterns. The tippet length and taper allow for a dead drift that mimics natural movement. Fish were more responsive than with other leaders I’ve tried.

Works well in calm waters. The leader feels solid and doesn’t fray. A bit longer than expected, but that’s fine for my setup. Would use again for similar conditions.
