Jan Reid –
Used this leader on a permit fishing trip in the Gulf. The taper worked well for presenting heavy flies, and the leader held up well in strong currents. No tangles or breaks during the day. Packaging was easy to open and recyclable, which was a nice touch.
Elizabeth Morgan –
Fished with this leader in saltwater conditions for several days. The wet knot strength was noticeable—flies stayed secure even in rough water. The stiffness helped with casting accuracy and fly presentation.
Lily Lawrence –
Good performance in saltwater environments. A bit stiffer than other leaders I’ve used, but that suits permit fishing. The packaging is clean and recyclable, which is appreciated.
