Description

A sinking leader is clutch when you need to get down to fish but are fishing a floating line. This allows you to quickly switch your approach—typically to fish streamers—without changing your fly line. The Sonar leaders include a welded loop to attach directly to your fly line and a micro-swivel to add a butt section of tippet, typically 2-4' to your fly.
