Umpqua Perform X Finesse Leader
At 13′ this leader is ideal for long, delicate presentations with small, technical flies. A dense, long butt and long taper ending with a long length of tippet results in ultra-smooth, stealthy, dead-drift for the flat water of spring creeks and stillwaters.

Thomas Murray –
Used this leader on a spring creek with small stoneflies. The dead-drift was smooth and natural, and the tippet didn’t tangle. Great for subtle presentations.
Dylan MacDonald –
Perfect for stillwater fishing with tiny dry flies. The leader feels solid and doesn’t snag. The long taper makes it easy to cast without disturbance.
Jack Coleman –
Works well in flat water. A bit stiff when first used, but breaks in after a few casts. Good for technical flies in calm conditions.
