Features
- + 100% Fluorocarbon for Maximum Stealth: Nearly invisible in clear water, perfect for spooky permit on tropical flats.
- + Sink Fast, Stay Subtle: Fluorocarbon sinks faster than nylon, helping get your fly into the strike zone on deeper flats.
- + Long, Medium-Stiff Butt Section: Built to turn over heavy crab and shrimp flies, even in windy conditions.
- + Hand-Tied Perfection Loop: Pre-tied loop in the butt section allows for fast, secure rigging to your fly line.
- + Designed for Permit and Other Flats Species: Ideal for precise presentations to cruising or tailing permit, with abrasion resistance to handle coral and structure.
This 12-foot fluorocarbon leader excels for Great Lakes steelhead fishing where crystal-clear water demands maximum stealth. The heavy butt section turns over large streamers and egg patterns in windy conditions, while the abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon withstands rocky structure that steelhead love.
