Guideline Power Strike PRO Super Dry 15' Leaders - 3x

A fly line that flies over the head of the fish is often enough to spook them. Imagine fishing in gin-clear water where the surface is unbroken by currents. You must perform long presentations and drag-free drifts. This is when this leader comes into play! Another scenario is when you fish across currents. Trout is at the far side of the faster water between you and has positioned itself in calmer water. A tricky situation where having a bit of extra slack in the front and one or two extra seconds of drag-free drift is the key to success. The Super Dry leader can be used in several ways and is highly customizable. You can just add a tippet of your preferred length and dimension. Or you can add a tippet ring and tip. Or you can even shorten the 80cm long tip and add down-tapering sections to lengthen the taper of this leader. This is a leader made for technical fishing and fishermen who enjoy optimizing their leader. For us, it’s a go-to leader for the “flats” in larger rivers that demand long drifts to avoid alerting the trout to your presence. Taper Profile The leader is built up with: Butt – 44% (200 cm / 6.6 ft), Taper – 39% (177 cm / 5.6 ft), Tip – 17% (80 cm / 2.8 ft). The butt section is 0.50 mm (0.020 in), which is a versatile dimension for all line weights used for dry fly fishing. This slightly finer butt and taper give a good balance of speed and turnover, making it easier to control the slack in the front. However, if you speed things up, this leader can deliver straight-line presentations with dry flies on still water.
