The tapered leader and tippet section is very important to any fly fisherman’s success. We urge you not to ignore your leader and tippet. Make sure when that “fish of a lifetime” grabs your fly, that you are ready for battle. Most worn leaders and bad knots will work great for small to average fish, but they will almost always fail on the fish that count!
Take a look at our great selection of quality tapered leaders from Rio…the industries premier leader and tippet manufacturer. We also recommend that you try some fluorocarbon for certain situations. We have fallen in love with the Rio Fluoroflex Plus for all of our trout & steelhead fishing and the standard Rio Fluoroflex for our bonefishing and stripers. We love the way the tippet knots, feels and the great durability.
