Scientific Anglers Absolute Bonefish Leader 10′
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.
- Specialty taper designed specifically for delivering bonefish flies to wary fish in shallow water
- Medium-stiff material for abrasion resistance

Melanie Hudson –
Used this leader for a recent bonefish trip in shallow flats. The taper worked well with the fly, and the line held up well in wet conditions. No tangles or breakages during casting. Packaging was easy to open and fully recyclable, which was a nice touch.
Isaac Mackay –
Felt more durable than previous leaders I’ve used. The medium-stiff material handled the abrasion from rocks and sand without fraying. Wet knot strength was noticeable during testing in tide pools.
Katherine Piper –
Perfect for delicate bonefish presentations. The leader doesn’t absorb water and stays strong even after being submerged. Packaging is clean and environmentally responsible.
