Sci Angler Absolute Leader – Streamer
The Absolute Streamer Leader is designed for use with sinking lines. Available in a 4’ length from 8 lb. to 20 lb. It has a looped, heavy butt section that helps protect the line loop and will turn over large, weighted flies. It can also be used on the end of TC Tips for two-hand, swung-fly applications.
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.

Sue Welch –
I’ve used this leader in deep water conditions and it holds up well under pressure. The knot strength is noticeably better than previous brands I’ve tried. The looped butt section works great with heavy weighted flies and doesn’t slip during casting.
Olivia Skinner –
The leader stays dry even in cold, wet conditions. I noticed a significant improvement in fly retention and casting performance. The packaging is easy to open and the paper is fully recyclable, which is a nice touch.
Faith Short –
It performs well in most situations, especially with sinking lines. A bit stiffer than I expected, but that may be due to the heavy butt section. Still, the wet knot strength is impressive and reliable.
