Quick take
A tapered fly-fishing leader with pre-tied loop for quick fly line connection and natural fly presentation.
A six-pack of 9-foot clear nylon tapered fly leaders in 5X, each tied with a loop at the butt end for quick loop-to-loop hookups to a fly line. The taper steps down from a stiffer butt section to a fine tip so the fly turns over smoothly. A good fit for fly anglers who want spare leaders for trout-style presentations with small flies.
