A specially designed co-polymer tapered leader with a long and heavy butt for turnover power and a supple front taper for delicate presentation. These leaders are an excellent choice for fishing with small and mid-sized flies on spooky fish and ideal for even underhand casting.

Typical Fly Usage For Leader Sizes

To calculate leader size a time used formula is to divide the fly size by 3, this gives you and approximate tipper size. For example for a size 16 fly 16/3 = 5.33 so recommended leader diameter should be 5x to 6x (as can be seen from the chart below)

Product	Used for Fly Sizes
0X	2
1X	4 to 8
2X	6 to 10
3X	10 to 14
4X	12 to 16
5X	14 to 18
6X	16 to 22
7X	18 to 24

Exellent x10!
With the extra length and fine tippet, the possibilities are endless-Cut it shorter or add a dropper it's up to you how you fish it. Brilliant for running under low branches !
thanks Christy
