Anne MacDonald –
Used these leaders on a recent trout trip in the mountains. The strength held up well under heavy tippet pulls and the knot strength was excellent. No breakages during casting or when setting the hook. A reliable choice for serious fly fishing.
Trevor Skinner –
Switched from regular leaders to Powerflex Plus after a few broken tippets. The 9′ length worked perfectly with my dry fly setup. Stronger without being stiff, which is a big plus in tight water conditions.
Edward Chapman –
Good strength and durability. The 12′ leader was a bit long for my setup, but the test strength range covers most of my needs. Would recommend for nymphing and streamers.
