Rio Fluoroflex Saltwater 9 ft Tapered Fluorocarbon Leader
Product information "Rio Fluoroflex Saltwater 9 ft Tapered Fluorocarbon Leader"
Rio is a renowned American manufacturer of premium fly lines and leader materials and stands worldwide for sophisticated product solutions, high quality and reliable performance on the water.
The Rio Fluoroflex Saltwater 9 ft Tapered Fluorocarbon Leader is a 100% fluorocarbon leader that has been specially developed for fly fishing in saltwater. The Fluoroflex material is almost invisible underwater and at the same time offers high abrasion and knot resistance - ideal for clear, shallow flats and structured saltwater terrain. The long butt section ensures a clean turnover of even voluminous flies, while the hand-tied Perfection Loop at the butt end allows a quick and secure connection to the fly line.
With a length of 9 ft (approx. 2.74 m), this leader offers a balanced taper that both supports a natural presentation and provides sufficient stability for larger, powerful fish species. This leader is ideal for targeted fly fishing for bonefish, permit, snook, redfish and other saltwater species where invisibility, abrasion resistance and precise fly presentation are critical.
