The Pro leaders are designed for many fishing situations we encounter by the water. Although ready to use the leader can be customized by removing approx 30-40cm from the tippet end of a 3X or 4X designated leader before knotting on a tippet ring. This affords a degree of versatility for attaching various tippet diameters and lengths to accommodate a wide range of fly sizes and patterns.
The leader consists of; Butt – 40% (146 cm / 4.8 ft), Taper – 35% (128 cm / 4.2 ft), Tip – 25% (91 cm / 3 ft). The butt diameter varies with the tippet size to be paired to different line weights for optimal performance. This ensures a seamless connection is realized for desirable delivery and presentation.
