Product information "Umpqua Perform X Power Taper Leader 9ft 3pc Value Pack Leader"

The Umpqua Perform X leaders and tippets are well thought out from A to Z and customised for their respective purpose. Not only in terms of length and strength, but above all in terms of material composition and properties, these nylon leaders are optimised for their intended niche. From fine trout fishing to salmon, pike and the like, a wide range of different applications is covered.

The Umpqua Perform X Power Taper Leader is a high-quality, nylon-based leader that has been specially developed for the discerning trout fly fisherman. It combines exceptional strength with a fast, powerful taper geometry - ideal for all situations where you need reliable performance and precise presentation. Thanks to its strong, long butt section with a short, aggressive taper, this leader ensures a fast and powerful turnover - even with larger terrestrial flies, hopper/copper/dropper combinations or in windy conditions. This makes it very easy to cast and particularly beginner-friendly.

The Perform X nylon material is based on a co-polymer nylon core, combined with hydrophobic and continuous coatings. This triple coating minimises water absorption, ensures a smooth, even surface and a good balance of strength and flexibility.

The advantages of nylon:

  • Is softer and more flexible than fluorocarbon
  • Nylon has excellent knot strength
  • Floats high on the surface, ideal for dry fly fishing
  • More elastic than fluorocarbon
  • Common knots can be used with good results
  • Attractively priced
