Product information "Rio Powerflex Plus 7.5 ft Tapered Leader 2 pc Pack"
Rio is a renowned American manufacturer of premium fly lines and leader materials and stands worldwide for well thought-out product solutions, high quality and reliable performance on the water.
The Rio Powerflex Plus 7.5 ft Tapered Leader - 2 pc Pack is a particularly high-quality nylon tapered leader set for demanding fly fishing for trout, grayling, chub and other freshwater species. The Powerflex Plus leaders are based on a further developed copolymer nylon, which offers even greater knot security, improved abrasion resistance and higher load-bearing capacity with the same diameter compared to classic nylon leaders. The balanced high-performance taper ensures clean turnover, controlled presentation and optimum power transmission - ideal for dry flies, soft hooks, nymph/indicator rigs and streamers.
With a length of 7.5 ft (approx. 2.3 m) and the practical 2-pack, you are ideally equipped for many freshwater situations. The Powerflex Plus leaders are a reliable choice when maximum strength, knot strength and fine presentation are required.
