Product information "Rio Suppleflex Trout 12 ft Tapered Leader"

The Rio Suppleflex Trout Tapered Leader is a soft and supple trout leader made from a very flexible copolymer material that provides excellent knot strength and natural presentation of the fly. This leader is ideal for dry flies, soft hooks and other delicate patterns as it minimises water resistance and does not interfere with the movement of the fly in the current. The smooth, evenly tapered shape ensures even energy transfer when casting and supports precise presentation at both short and longer distances.

Each Suppleflex Trout leader has a hand-tied Perfection Loop in the butt area, which enables a quick, easy and reliable connection to the fly line without the need for additional knots. The very soft yet resilient structure makes this leader particularly suitable for cautious fish in clear waters and ensures that fine presentations appear even finer and subtle bites are clearly recognisable. Different thicknesses allow the leader to be flexibly adapted to different water conditions and fly patterns, while the copolymer material retains its suppleness over a long period of time.

In trout and grayling fishing, a balanced combination of sensitive handling and control is crucial. The Rio Suppleflex Trout leader offers exactly this balance and stands for reliability and performance on the water, without unnecessary complexity when rigging or casting.
