This leader works exactly as described. The right angle setup helps with fly sinking and makes it easier to detect strikes. I’ve used it for trout nymphing and it’s reliable in cold water conditions. The hand-tied quality feels durable and the swivel prevents tangles.

Great for indicator nymphing. The pre-rigged design saves time and the perpendicular dropper section keeps the flies sinking smoothly. I added a split shot and it performed well in moderate currents.
