This is a floating "butt section" to which you simply add tippet, or a transition piece and then tippet. Sold here in the 8' version and features a welded loop on the butt end so that you can easily attach to your fly line via loop-to-loop connection.

******Please note that these things will work just fine for ANY fish or fly that requires .012"- .015" (or larger) tippet or so. They are not "Just for Salmon or Steelhead",  and work exceptionally well any larger gamefish Typical industry discrimination to call them "Salmon/Steelhead".

The Salmon/Steelhead Polyleaders here have an exposed mono "connector" on the front end of .021" (very important) 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 .017"- .021" you should be able to go straight from connector to tippet. For thinner tippets, it is really best to tie a 1-2' piece of "transition" and we usually go .019" or .017" and then loop-to-loop for the final, thinner diameter, say .015"- .012" or so. 

***It is recommended that you don't go any heavier than 24lb breaking strength on any connector or tippet piece to avoid potential breaking of the butt section itself.
