Leaders, Tippet & Backing

The same 3M technological advantages that make our lines fly fishing's best also make these the best leaders you'll ever use. Scientific Anglers™ advanced nylon polymers and copolymers produce leaders with exceptional strength and durability at a smaller diameter, and each is formulated with the ideal blend of stiffness and flexibility for its application. Scientific Anglers™ tippet is made of the same material and - used with our leaders - provides the optimal transfer of energy from fly line to fly. We also offer a great selection of backing, including extra thin, extra strong XTS.

System™ L2L Line-to-Leader Connector and L2L Reconnect are redefining 'fly fishing made easy.' These innovative wonders increase your time spent fishing, and their dynamic design actually enhances fly line performance.
