I use this with my 8wt single hand line and it’s made depth adjustment super easy. No need to change lines when I want to fish deeper or float higher. The black S6 works well in murky water and stays secure when looping on.

Great for switching between float and sink rates during a session. The clear versions are helpful for seeing the line in the water. It’s a small but useful addition to my fly fishing setup.

I’ve tried several leader systems, and this one stands out for its simplicity and reliability. It fits perfectly with my spey line and allows me to adjust depth quickly without retying.
