These leaders perform well in cold water conditions. The knot strength holds up even when wet, which is crucial for trout fishing. The packaging is easy to open and the material feels smooth and strong. I’ve used them in several streams and they’ve not broken during casts.
Elizabeth Stewart –
Good for trout fishing with a reliable taper and solid butt diameter. The leaders don’t absorb water like older nylon ones. I noticed a slight drag when using the 6X tippet, but overall it’s a solid choice for accurate drifts.
Olivia Clark –
The biodegradable packaging is a nice touch. I appreciate the environmental effort. The leaders are supple and don’t tangle. I’ve used them in both still and moving water and they’ve held up well under pressure.
