Steven James –
This leader performed well in windy conditions on a recent steelhead run. The taper helped with fly turnover, and it held up well under pressure. No breakages even after several hours of use.
Adam Hart –
Good durability and easy to handle when casting. The stiffness is just right for larger flies. A bit heavy in the hand, but worth it for the performance.
Alexandra Avery –
Used it during a salmon season in the mountains. The abrasion resistance stood up to rocks and fast currents. Tapered design made it easy to cast and turn over the flies.
