Fly Fishing Leaders, Tippets, Loops & Rings

Airflo Polyleaders - Trout

Airflo Polyleaders - TroutThe range of Airflo Polyleaders cover the full spectrum of trout fishing situations—floating to ultra-fast sinking. Smoothly tapered to give easy turn over of dries, nymphs, and streamers, these leaders open up many new techniques not only with a floating line but with sinking lines, as well. Just loop a 2-4’ tippet onto the front loop of the Polyleader, or use a Climax Tippet Ring (Highly recommended! See below) to secure the connection, and get ready to enjoy a better way of doing things. The floating Poly leaders are available in 5’ and 10’ lengths, the 5’ length being most popular for packet-water and general Trout fishing, the 10’ being utilized for those “delicate moments” on still waters where the fishing requires giving the fish a lot less to notice. The sinking Poly leaders are available in 5 and 10’ lengths, and in two densities—fast (3.9 in/sec) & ex. Super fast (6.1 in/sec)—thanks to their Tungsten coatings. Recommended for 5-7 wgt. lines. Maximum tippet: 12lbs.

Airflo Polyleaders - Light Trout

Airflo Polyleaders - Light TroutLight Trout Polyleaders are designed with greater suppleness and shock absorption for use with light lines—2-4wgt—the floating versions ensuring the most delicate of presentations to spooky fish in lakes and spring creeks, while the sinking versions allow nymphs to be fished at depth without adding weight to the fly or to the tippet. As with the Trout Polyleaders (see above), the Light Trout Polyleaders have loops at both ends, and a 2-4’ tippet can be looped onto the front loop of the Polyleader, or a Climax Tippet Ring (See below) can be attached for a secure, trouble-free connection. Available in floating lengths of 5’, and 8’ (very stealthy) , with fast sinking (3.9 in/sec) and ex.super fast sinking (6.1 in/sec) versions available in 5’ lengths. Recommended for 2-4 wgt. lines. Maximum tippet: 8 lbs.
