Product information "Scientific Anglers Absolute Fluorocarbon Leader 9ft."
Absolute - this is the short and concise name of the new leader series from Scientific Anglers. The Absolute Fluorocarbon Leader from Scientific Anglers offers exactly what discerning fly fishermen dream of: a perfect blend of impressive strength, abrasion resistance and a 15% higher wet knot strength than previous models. It also knots superbly thanks to its excellent suppleness, making it undoubtedly one of the best fluorocarbon materials on the market. It is therefore hardly surprising that the developers of these lines describe their products as "Absolute".
All Scientific Anglers Absolute fluorocarbon leaders are made from 100% fluorocarbon. The drawn leaders have a special taper that allows clean presentations even in strong winds and weighted fly patterns - whether heavy crab patterns for permit, lighter shrimps for bonefish or streamers and nymphs for trout.
Like any other FC, Scientific Anglers fluorocarbon has two major advantages: Firstly, FC has a comparable refractive index to water. This means that leaders made from FC are almost invisible in the water. In crystal-clear waters, it therefore often has the edge over conventional nylon (monofilament) leaders. Secondly, fluorocarbon sinks easily, whereas nylon floats on the surface. For this reason and also due to its higher abrasion resistance, FC is often used where stones or other structures pose a danger during the fight.
