Scientific Anglers Mastery Freshwater Tapered Leader - 9'

What a great feel and turnover. This monofilament sends an elegant message from your rod to the fish.

These leaders work well for nylon and are cheap. They are excellent if you have fishing buddies who "borrow" leaders.

Great price for a great leader

I haven't even tied them on yet. They sure do look like leaders though.

After using a furled leader for two years, I have to say that a simple tapered mono leader still has its place in the fly fishing world. Not that the furled leader is bad but, it just doesn't deliver small flies like the standard tapered leader does. And this SA tapered leader from STP is just the ticket to get a reliable, great value leader. Standard mono tapered leader won't last you as long as the furled but it will deliver the small flies nicely. If one doesn't mind replacing leader every few solid outings, this SA leader from STP is the way to go. If one wants a long lasting leader, I would recommend the furled leader.
