Guideline Power Strike PRO Dry & Stealth Lt. Trout 12' Leaders - 4x

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 favorite 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.
