Product information "Umpqua Deceiver HD Big Game Fluorocarbon Leader "

The Umpqua Deceiver HD Big Game leaders and tippets are thoughtfully designed from A to Z and tailored for their specific applications. Not only in terms of length and strength, but especially in terms of material composition and properties, these fluorocarbon leaders are optimized for their intended niche. This makes them perfect for targeting big fish in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

Deceiver HD Big Game Fluorocarbon Leader
The knotless tapered Deceiver HD Big Game fluorocarbon leaders are made from 100% fluorocarbon. These drawn leaders feature a special taper that allows for clean presentations even in strong wind and with weighted or bushy fly patterns – all while sinking quickly and remaining nearly invisible.

Like any other fluorocarbon, Umpqua's FC offers two major advantages: First, fluorocarbon has a light refraction index similar to water, meaning that FC leaders are nearly invisible underwater. In crystal-clear waters, this often gives them an edge over traditional nylon (monofilament) leaders. Second, fluorocarbon sinks easily, whereas nylon floats. For this reason – along with its higher abrasion resistance – fluorocarbon is preferred in environments with rocks or other structures that can pose a threat during the fight.
