RIO Big Nasty Tapered Leader | 12 lb.; Clear

The RIO Big Nasty Tapered Leader helps fly anglers turn over bulky streamers, foam hoppers, terrestrials, and bass bugs when trout, bass, and other aggressive fish demand bigger profiles and longer casts. Its 6 ft. length, stiff medium nylon, and powerful butt section drive heavy flies with authority, helping you keep loops under control in windy conditions and place large patterns tight to banks, grass edges, wood, and other high-percentage targets. RIO gives this tapered nylon leader the toughness and abrasion resistance needed for hard fishing around cover, while the aggressive taper keeps turnover crisp when lighter trout leaders fall short with oversized flies. A hand-tied perfection loop in the butt speeds up rigging, making this a strong choice for streamer fishing, warmwater fly fishing, and any situation where casting larger flies cleanly matters more than finesse.
