I’ve used this 9-foot leader in several trout streams and it performs well. The taper design helps with feel and casting accuracy. It’s durable and doesn’t break easily during a fight.
Wanda Wright –
Good quality leader that feels smooth in the hand. Works well with my spinning rod. A bit stiff when first pulled, but settles in quickly.
Heather Wilkins –
Perfect for small trout. The sensitivity helps detect subtle bites. I bought a 3-pack and use one per trip. No issues with knot strength or visibility.
