RIO Steelhead/Salmon Leaders 9ft
RIO
$6.99
The 9-foot RIO Steelhead and Salmon Leader is a good all-purpose leader for floating lines and for guys fishing nymphs on single-handed rods. RIO's Steelhead and Salmon Leaders are perfectly designed for anadromous species such as steelhead and all types of salmon. Its glacial green color and non-glare finish disappear in all water conditions. Its knotless taper has a thicker butt section and uses a slightly stiffer co-polymer for turning over larger flies. This is also a highly abrasion-resistant leader.
The recommended tippet for RIO's Steelhead/Salmon Leaders is RIO Steelhead/Salmon Tippet.
