A pleasing brown shade with pre-formed loops the Guideline Dry & Stealth leaders are supplied in a 2-pack. The packaging features a zip and is UV proof for easy, safe storage. Guideline have drawn on years of experience to bring you the cutting edge in leader design. It’s a well known fact longer leaders give you an edge when presenting to spooky fish and where improved control is required. The Dry & Stealth leaders are designed to be lengthened by adding tippet sections to suit changing conditions. Ideally, a thinner diameter of tippet section should be added, but a similar diameter is acceptable. Dry & Stealth leaders are developed to turn over tippet lengths of up to 2 meters (7 ft) in length. A flexible and advantageous method to use these leaders is to knot on our 2 mm tippet ring, before adding your desired tippet section(s). Consider too, custom leaders might consist of several lengths of level monofilament, stepping down in diameter.
Taper profile – Flexibility & Performance
The taper is divided by; Butt – 44% (165 cm / 5.4 ft), Taper – 42% (150 cm / 4.9 ft), Tip – 14% (50 cm / 1.6 ft). Butt section diameter is 0,48 mm (0.019 in) which is the perfect match for lighter rated fly lines in the 0-4 weight category. Generally speaking, slimmer leaders remain more flexible to conform with surface currents and therefore delay the onset of drag.
Example of customizing with 3X/4X Leader
Where an 18–20+ feet leader is required, try the following—this is a favourite among the trout bums on the Guideline team! Add 50 cm of 4X and a tippet of 5X (100–200 cm). If you prefer a 6X tippet, add 50 cm of 4X + 50 cm of 5X, followed by a 6X tippet (100–200 cm). The tippet length can be adjusted depending on the conditions. A good standard length is around 150 cm. Where more complex currents occur, try extending the leader to approx. 200cm. Such a long tippet generates sufficient slack for improved drag-free delivery.
Top Quality Materials – Advanced Technology
