Aprašymas

Over the years, we have received many questions regarding leader length, especially for skating/hitching and dry fly fishing for salmon, as well as the perfect nylon leader length for a coastal leader for sea trout fishing in Scandinavia. Since so many have been asking, and with the knowledge of how crucial the leader design is for that kind of fly fishing, we decided to develop nylon leaders “with a primary purpose” to cover this. They are developed with the focus being on presentation, precision, and strength, as well as maintaining the correct mass in a leader to control the upper line in the loop on the forward cast.

Specifikacija

Dry fly salmon nylon leader – for line wt. 18 g/278 gr
(Butt 0.59 – tip 0.31 L 4.0 m/13 feet, strength: 16 lbs)
If using small to medium size dry flies (i.e. single hooks sizes 8 – 10), then cut 0.20 meters off the butt section and extend the leader 0.45 meters with 0.30 mm tippet material, to make a total maximum length of 4.25 meters.
If using larger dry fly patterns (i.e. double hooks sizes 4 – 6) then use the leader as it is so that the total maximum length is 4.0 meters.

Hitch & skating nylon leader – for line wt. 16 g/247 gr to 18 g/278 gr
(Butt 0.57 – tip 0.29 L 3.3 m/10.8 feet, strength: 15 lbs)
If using small hitch/skating flies (i.e. single hooks sizes 8 – 10 and micro tubes), then add 0.30 meters of 0.28 mm tippet material, to reach a total maximum length of 3.6 meters.
If using larger flies (i.e. single hooks sizes 8 or medium size plastic tubes), then use the leader as it is so that the total maximum length is 3.3 meters.

Coastal nylon leader – for line wt. 12 g/185 gr to 16 g/247 gr
(Butt 0.57 – tip 0.27 L 3.5 m/11.5 feet, strength: 15 lbs)
If using small saltwater flies (i.e. single hooks sizes 8 – 12 and smaller), then add 0.50 meters of 0.26 mm tippet material to reach a total maximum length of 4.0 meters.
If using larger saltwater patterns or weighted flies (i.e. single hooks sizes 6 – 10), then use the leader as it is so that the total maximum length is 3.5 meters.
