Sci Angler Absolute Leader – Salmon/Steelhead
Absolute leaders are made with proprietary copolymer blends that are designed to drastically reduce water absorption while maintaining an optimal suppleness for high knot strength. Absolute nylon leaders and tippet have a 29% higher wet knot strength compared to our previous material and up to 40% higher wet knot strength when compared to our competitors. Our new paper-based leader packaging is now 100% recyclable. All materials, inks, and window are fully biodegradable to protect our streams and reduce our environmental footprint. Please don’t litter.
- Medium stiff material for powerful turnover and low memory in colder climates
- Excellent for swinging, stripping streamers or indicator rigs

Is the packaging environmentally friendly?
Yes, the packaging is made from 100% recyclable paper and all materials, inks, and window are fully biodegradable.
What types of fishing techniques work best with this leader?
This leader performs well in swinging, stripping streamers, or using indicator rigs due to its medium stiffness and low memory.
Kevin King –
Used this leader for steelhead fishing in cold water. The stiffness holds up well during casting and the line doesn’t absorb water. Knots stayed strong even after prolonged exposure to rain. Packaging is easy to recycle and feels eco-conscious.
Stewart Sharp –
Great for streamer fishing. The turnover is smooth and the line doesn’t kink. I’ve used it in both spring and fall and it performs consistently. No issues with water absorption or knot strength.
Melanie Bailey –
Solid performance in cold conditions. A bit stiffer than expected, but that’s good for casting accuracy. The biodegradable packaging is a nice touch and makes me feel better about the environment.
