Snowbee Braided Leaders 5ft

Tapered Braided Leaders from Snowbee. The floating version provides gentle turnover while the intermediate and sinking versions are great for presenting the fly at different depths (essentially converting your floating fly line into a sink tip).

Product Description

These 5 ft Braided Leaders from Snowbee help line turnover when using long leaders and are a very simple and effective way of turning a floating line into a sink tip.

DETAILS

Made from a braided monofilament they taper down to provide the weight distribution that links the turnover energy in the fly line to the leader.

Having a braided construction, these leaders tend to have less memory than the equivalent polyleader and lower stretch / shock absorption.

These braided leaders have a loop at both ends making it easy to use a simple loop-to-loop connection to insert them between the fly line and your leader.

OUR OPINION

Using a sinking or intermediate braided leader is an easy and cheap way to convert a floating line into a sink tip, and you can easily change the braided leader to change the depth at which your flies are fishing.

Braided leader is a scarce item to find nowadays. Good that snowbea is one manufacturer that still provides them.

Manufactures loop for fly line came undone. After I re-tied the leader it did not float for more than one hour. I have discarded this leader and added a touch of superglue to both loops of the intermediate braided leader.

First time using these leaders. Chose the fast sink and it does just that, but a little harder to cast than other braided leaders I've used in the past.

Very few on the market. But I find these very good to cast with and with a very good turn over at the end of the cast. Also good for fishing the dry fly.

I use this as a connection between the line and tapered leader. I cut off the loop, feed two inches of line into the braid then secure the braid with a needle knot and superglue at the cut. I then cut the braid leaving about four inches free, feed the butt end of the tapered leader into the braid until it reaches the flyline. I then secure the cut end with a needle knot and superglue. I make sure that I have smoothed the glue and trimmed any loose fibres before the glue sets completely. Using this method I get a smooth knotless transmission from line to leader. The leader is then finished off with a nylon tippet.
