Scientific Anglers Absolute Trout Presentation - 11' Clear, 6x

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I fished the Scientific Anglers Absolute Trout Presentation Leader on a spring creek where drag-free drifts are everything, and the progressive taper placed my dry fly exactly where I needed it without any of the slapping or piling I get from lesser leaders. The knot strength held up all day through multiple fish and retippeting, which matters a lot when you are fishing 6x in technical water.""The rise is subtle, barely a crease in the surface film, and everything now comes down to the presentation. On water this technical, the Scientific Anglers Absolute Trout Presentation Leader is the difference between a refusal and a take. Built on a proprietary copolymer blend that dramatically reduces water absorption, this 11-foot leader stays supple cast after cast and knot after knot, turning over longer lengths with authority and delivering the fly with the kind of delicacy that selective trout demand. The large butt diameter loads the turnover with enough energy to straighten out even longer tippet sections, while the progressive taper bleeds off that energy gradually so the fly touches down soft and without disturbance. Wet knot strength runs 29% higher than Scientific Anglers' previous material and up to 40% higher than competing leaders, which means your connection holds when a big brown decides your drift finally looks right. The packaging is 100% recyclable with fully biodegradable materials throughout, because the water worth fishing on deserves to stay that way."
