Leader

Powerflex leaders help you cast better and fish more effectively. The powerful butt section provides unsurpassed wind penetration and easily turns over heavy indicator rigs, while the soft, flexible tippet delivers tiny dries with delicate precision. Advanced copolymer strength allows confident hook sets and greater landing percentages.

• Agressive high-performance taper
• Long, powerful butt section with soft, flexible tippet
• Maximum strength and abrasion resistance

Ideal for:

• Nymph/Indicator Rigs
• Streamers
• Dry Flies

Maxima Chameleon is an excellent choice for building the butt section of a leader, particularly if you are Euro Nymphing or High Sticking. This leader is stiff and heavy enough to cast, but light enough to eliminate sag.

TroutHunter Fluorocarbon Tapered Leaders are made from the absolute highest quality Fluorocarbon. A longer butt section aids in turning over larger streamers and nymphs. Put through our high quality tests, TroutHunter fluorocarbon leaders offer superior strength, abrasion resistance, and invisibility making them an easy choice for large spooky trout as well as saltwater, anadromous fish, and lakes.

RIO’S TECHNICAL EURO NYMPH LEADER has been designed for the ultimate in performance when fishing any of the European nymphing techniques. The extra-long, ultra-thin leader is incredibly sensitive to the subtlest of grabs, and the two-tone indicator tippet tied to the front end has high contrast and is very easy to see. The leader finishes with a RIO tippet ring so anglers can quickly and easily attach the tippet of their choice.

DRY FLY SLACK LINE LEADER: Nothing is more important in dry fly fishing than your leader and its presentation.  Our CastMax Target Dry Fly Slack Leaders are designed and tied to land in 'S-curves' in the butt section and more in swirls in the thinner tippet section. In order to get the longest drag-free drift, you want this slack in the leader as it lands on the water, and most importantly in the thinner termination section. When cast properly, these leaders will not straighten out, but land in serpentine curves. The pre-set slack sections now can get pulled and straightened downstream with as little drag as possible by varying currents.  This also minimizes the need for mending. Our specialized CastMax Target Dry Fly Slack leaders are tied in 7 sections, beginning with a .017 butt and terminating at various tippet sizes, depending your preference, for the most precise taper and presentation.  Leader diameters are much thinner in the butt sections than commercial tapered leaders which gives you more control and more delicate presentations.  The butt sections are stiffer Maxima Chameleon for best turnover and distance, while the most critical thinner termination sections are of softer Maxima Ultragreen mono.  Total length is 9'. Designed for use with 3wt -5wt fly lines.

RIO’S EURO NYMPH SHORTY is an ultra-thin, super-sensitive fly line designed for Euro nymphing. The line is deliberately made short (20 feet) so it can be added to the front end of a regular fly line utilizing the thin welded loop on each end. The idea is that anglers can fish their normal fly fishing style with their regular trout line, and when they come to a run they want to fish Euro nymph style, they simply loop the Shorty on and start nymphing. Quick, easy and no need for an extra rod or reel.
