Quick take

A 6-line set of polyleaders with sink rates from float to 7 IPS for trout and salmon fly fishing at all depths.

Best for

  • Varying water depths in a single fishing session
  • Saltwater flats and offshore fly fishing
  • Fly anglers fishing multiple conditions

Skip if

  • You prefer a single leader setup
  • You fish mostly on the surface

Strengths

  • Six different sink rates cover surface to deep-water fishing
  • Monofilament core provides good turnover for small flies
  • Free tackle bag keeps leaders organized

Trade-offs

  • Switching between sink rates requires rerigging
  • Polyleaders require connection to backing and fly line
  • Heavier than standard tapered leaders in deep sinking versions
