LEADERS & BACKING

Either side of the fly line we have two key products that are required, backing is required for when that large fish makes a dash for freedom and line is disappearing from your spool at a rate of knots, and at the other end your leader needs to stand up to the rigours that Pike, Tarpon and Bonefish can throw at it.

With high quality products available from Seaguar, Rio, Power Pro and Airflo these materials whether they be fluorocarbon or hard mono are specially designed to give you the best chance of landing that fish!
