The Sonar Leader works perfectly with my single-handed setup. I can now reach deeper waters without adjusting my fly line. The 50-grain version sinks steadily and stays on course. Easy to attach and identify thanks to the SA ID mark.

Used this with a 10′ floating line and found it effective for mid-water fishing. The welded loop makes tying on the fly simple. A little heavier than expected, but it performs well in varied conditions.

Great addition to my fly fishing gear. The sinking rate is consistent and the leader doesn’t tangle. I use it in both still and moving water. The 35-grain version works well for surface to shallow depths.
