Airflo Bass/Pike 4' Floating PolyLeader

The Airflo Floating Polyleaders may well be the best leader butts made. These things are so easy, long lasting, and wildly effective.  They float like a dream too and almost never need any additional floatant.

These are floating "butt sections" to which you simply add tippet, or a transition piece and then tippet. They come in a 4' version here and feature a welded loop on the butt end so that you can easily attach to your fly line via loop-to-loop connection. The Bass/Pike version here is well suited for line weights 6-9 or so and where tippets of .015" to .011" or so are needed.

* 4' Polyurethane floating, tapered butt section. Just add tippet! (or transition and tippet)
* Superior turnover
* Long lasting
* Will turn over tippets from 2-12' (mostly recommended is 2-4' on these though for best performance)
* No water spray or retention
* Ready looped on the butt end for attaching to fly line
* Mono connector for attaching the tippet in a variety of ways
* Non-toxic- polyurethane

The Bass/Pike Polyleaders here have an exposed mono "connector" on the front end of .015". You can either tie a perfection loop in the end of this and go straight to tippet, or blood knot or surgeons knot a transition piece and then loop the tippet.

For tippets of .015" to .013" or so, you should be able to go straight from connector to tippet, either via a blood knot or loop-to-loop. For thinner tippets, it is really best to tie a 1-2' piece of "transition" and we usually go .013",  and then loop-to-loop for the final, thinner diameter, say .012" or .011". 

***Although these are stated as "Pike" leaders, we do not typically recommend them for that. Most of the Pike flies that we throw are going to be a bit too big for this butt section to handle. We much prefer building stiff mono leaders for pike. These ARE great Bass leaders though and excel where tippets of .013"- .011" are needed. Great for basic poppers and floating bass bugs!!!
