Used this leader on a rocky stream and it held up well. The taper helped with indicator turnover and the line didn’t kink easily. Good for both salmon and steelhead fishing.

Felt more durable than standard nylon leaders. Works well with split shot and didn’t fray after several hours of use in a river.

The 9-foot length is perfect for long casts and the clear material makes it easy to see the line when fishing in low light.
