This leader performs well in cold water conditions. The knot strength holds up even after prolonged exposure to water. The packaging is easy to handle and feels eco-friendly. I’ve used it on several trout streams and it’s proven reliable.
Jacob Ross –
The 4′ length fits perfectly with my sinking line setup. The heavy butt protects the line and keeps the fly secure. I noticed less line drag and better casting performance compared to previous leaders I’ve used.
Molly Skinner –
Good knot strength and durable material. The biodegradable packaging is a nice touch. A bit shorter than expected for streamer use, but works well with my current fly setup.
