FAQs
Are these polyleaders suitable for saltwater fishing?
While designed primarily for rivers and stillwaters, they can be used in light saltwater environments; ensure you wash them thoroughly with freshwater after every use.
Can I use these with any fly line?
Yes, they are compatible with most standard fly lines that feature a welded loop at the end of the fly line.
Do I need to add tippet to these leaders?
Yes, the polyleaders act as the butt section; you must attach your desired length and strength of tippet to the end of the leader.
How do I store the set to make it last longer?
Store the set in the provided zipped wallet, ensuring the leaders are dry and clean before placing them back into the storage compartments.
Which density should I start with for general trout fishing?
A hover or intermediate sink rate is typically the most versatile starting point for a wide range of trout fishing conditions.
Troubleshooting
Leader is not turning over during the cast
Check that the fly size is appropriate for the polyleader density and ensure your loop-to-loop connection is not bulky.
Kinking or memory in the leader
Stretch the polyleader gently by pulling it through a piece of neoprene or your fingers to remove memory before casting.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your polyleader, perform a loop-to-loop connection directly to your fly line's factory loop. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent hinge-point drag during the cast. For the terminal end, tie your tippet directly to the polyleader loop using a standard clinch or blood knot. After each fishing session, rinse the used polyleader with freshwater to remove salt or silt, and store it dry inside the included zipped wallet away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
