Austin Kerr –
Used this leader on a bonefish trip in the Florida keys. The fluorocarbon is nearly invisible in the water and the fly turns over smoothly. The loop at the butt made setting up the rig super fast. Great for shallow flats.
Victor Walsh –
Fished with it on a permit outing. The leader held up well under constant movement and didn’t fray. The long butt section helped with fly turnover, which made a big difference in presentation.
Peter Randall –
Solid product. The stealth quality is noticeable in clear water. A bit stiff to handle at first, but once adjusted, it works well. Would recommend for bonefish and redfish fishing.
