Yes, the long butt section is designed for effortless fly turnover, making it ideal for fly fishing on flats and in shallow water environments.

Maria Mackay –
Used this leader on a bonefish outing in shallow flats. The fluorocarbon is nearly invisible and the fly turns over smoothly. The loop at the butt made setting up the rig fast and easy. Great for clear water fishing.
Steven Sutherland –
Fished with this leader on a permit run. The strength and abrasion resistance held up well. The 9-foot length gives good reach without tangles. Highly recommend for shallow water species.
Adrian Chapman –
Good quality and easy to tie on. The loop is secure and the leader doesn’t fray. A bit stiff in cold water, but overall performs well in clear flats.
