A new process in making leader material allows UV protection in the core of the copolymer leader material. This process also allows a good balance between strength and recovery. Special resin coating makes a smooth surface with less coiling. It also lubricates the material making knots slip tighter and more secure. These leaders have a formula taper that is: 35% butt section, 45% taper section and 20% tippet section. The butt section is .021 in. diameter and is clear in color.
A new resin coating on the GTS series leader improves knot stength and has better UV protection than their standard copolymer leaders. The new lubrication in the resin makes knots cinch down much tighter. GTS offers high tensile strength with a unique Dai-Riki taper design and a stiffness to turn over your flies even in windy conditions. The unique taper is 35% butt section, 45% taper section and 20% tippet section. The butt section is .023 in diameter.
