Quick take
Tapered 9-foot fly leaders with hand-tied perfection loops for quick loop-to-loop connection to your fly line.
This is a ten-pack of 9-foot tapered nylon copolymer leaders in 6X, each with a pre-tied perfection loop at the butt end for loop-to-loop connection to a fly line. The fine 6X tip suits small flies and careful presentations to trout. Each leader comes packed on its own, so spares stay tidy in a vest or pack.
