SA Absolute Streamer Leader – Single Pack
The SA Absolute Streamer Leader is designed for use with larger flies and sinking lines. It features a looped, heavy butt section that protects the line loop and helps turn over large, weighted flies. It can also be used on the end of TC Tips for two-hand, swung-fly applications.
Constructed with proprietary copolymer blends, this leader reduces water absorption while maintaining optimal suppleness for high knot strength. Absolute nylon leaders and tippet have a 29% higher wet knot strength compared to previous material and up to 40% higher wet knot strength when compared to competitors.

This leader performs well in cold water conditions. The heavy butt section handles large weighted flies without breaking. I’ve used it with sinking lines and it stays strong even after prolonged exposure to water.
Evan Peake –
The knot strength is noticeably better than previous leaders I’ve used. It doesn’t absorb water quickly and holds up well during long casts. Slightly longer than expected, but still within the recommended range.

I use it for deep-water streamer fishing. The looped butt section keeps the fly line secure and allows smooth transitions when casting. The material feels durable and maintains flexibility.
