This leader works great for getting flies down to deeper spots. The 50-grain version sinks quickly and stays stable. Easy to attach and identify with the SA ID mark. Used it on a single-handed line in a river and caught several trout.
Rose Hunter –
Felt like a solid addition to my fly fishing gear. The welded loop makes tying on easy. Sinks well and doesn’t tangle. A bit heavier than expected, but effective for deeper water fishing.

Perfect for when I need to reach the bottom without using a sinking tip. The 35-grain version works well for surface feeding fish. Lightweight and reliable. Would recommend to any beginner or intermediate angler.
