Finesse Leader
Umpqua describes their Perform X Nylon as the holy grail of performance - immense strength and resilience, combined with suppleness. The three-layer construction of this new nylon imparts unique material properties. A core layer provides the right blend of strength and suppleness to perfectly present your fly while ensuring the necessary durability for landing powerful fish. The hydrophobic coating ensures the nylon remains dry throughout the day, preventing weaker knots and overall reduced tensile strength. The third layer is a continuous coating that produces a smoother, more consistent, and reliable surface. The knotless tapered leader has perfect turnover properties, allowing you to accurately and gently present your fine fly. With a length of 13 ft. and a special taper, this leader is particularly suitable for delicate fishing with fine flies for shy, sensitive fish.
