RIO Trout Knotless Tapered Leaders

Designed for superb abrasion resistance as well as high knot and tensile strength. The long butt design provides smooth turnover while the supple tippet gives the fly life-like presentation. The graduated tapers have corresponding stepped butt diameters. Tapers are made with thick butts and turn over heavy flies and thinner butts for smaller flies. RIO knotless leaders have a high tech "best maximum pull" ratio to orient the molecules in a linear chain. This means that RIO's leaders return to their original taper after a fight. Light Gray. 7-1/2 ft. or 9 ft.

RIO Shock Absorber

RIO Steelhead & Atlantic Salmon Knotless

Airflo Poly Leaders

Performance - Versatility - Durability
For years, fly fishermen have dreamed of a leader with a smooth, efficient turnover, a clear leader with positive buoyancy so that it would ride over ripples and not through them, a leader that was so supple it actually moved with the current to prevent drag, rather than create it. A leader that could be changed in seconds and used to fish at any depth, a leader that didn't tangle and would absorb shock to protect light tippets.

Dream no more...
This totally new type of leader has a high strength level monofilament core surrounded by an outer, supple low modulus tapered polymer. This unique combination provides the flyfisher with a leader that almost turns over by itself! Available in a choice of four densities and different lengths. Polyleaders extend your tactics to a degree unrivaled by the traditional mono leader. The level monocore is exposed at the tip to allow you to choose your favorite mono knot or loop connection. Simply add your favorite tippet material to create even extraordinary leader lengths. The smooth, solid coating of Polyleaders eliminates casting spray associated with braided leaders.
