Product information "Rio Fluoroflex Trout 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 Trout 9 ft Tapered Fluorocarbon Le ader is a high quality, 100 % fluorocarbon leader that has been specially developed for fly fishing for trout and other shy fish species in clear water. The Fluoroflex material offers very low visibility under water, making the presentation of your fly almost invisible and thus increasing the success rate even with highly sensitive trout. The leader features a long butt section that provides a clean turnover and allows for easy casting of even larger flies, while the hand-tied Perfection Loop at the butt end ensures fast and secure rigging.
With a total length of 9 ft (approx. 2.7 m), this tapered leader strikes the right balance between control, stability and natural-looking presentation. Thanks to its high abrasion resistance and knot security, it is not only suitable for classic trout fishing in clear stretches of river, but also for sensitive presentations on lakes or structurally rich stretches of stream.
