The leader performs well in clear water and stays strong under tension. The visibility is excellent for seeing the line when fishing with small flies. Packaging is easy to handle and feels eco-conscious.
Keith Chapman –
I’ve used this with nymphing and streamers. The abrasion resistance holds up well on rocky streams. The wet knot strength is noticeable during long casts.

Good clarity and strong enough for my trout fishing. A bit longer than expected, but fits well with my setup. Packaging is a nice touch for the environment.
