The Airflo Trout Polyleaders may well be some of the best leader butts made. These things are so easy, long lasting, and wildly effective. These come in a variety of different sink rates to cover any level of the water column.
These are sinking “butt sections” to which you simply add tippet, or a transition piece and then tippet. They are 5′ in length 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 Light Trout versions here feature a thinner mono core and are best suited for line weights 4-7wt or where thicker diameter tippets are needed.
* 5′ Polyurethane, 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′)
* 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
* Intermediate version here which sinks at 1.5″ per second
* Leader color is Clear
The Airflo Trout Polyleaders here have an exposed mono “connector” on the front end of 0X or .011″. 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. Really best to tie a loop here at some point to avoid cutting back this exposed connector. We much prefer the mono to mono connection here over a tippet ring…..by a longshot!
For tippets of 1X or 2X 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 1X or 2X and then loop-to-loop for the final, thinner diameter, say 3X, 4X or 5X. For most smaller streamers of course, you would go straight 2X or 3X.
***It is recommended that you don’t go any heavier than 12lb breaking strength on any connector or tippet piece to avoid potential breaking of the butt section itself. These trout versions are certainly therefore best with tippets of 2X and thinner.
