Scientific Anglers Absolute Indicator/Stillwater Leader 12-foot leaders and tippets revolutionize fly fishing with their innovative design. Made from proprietary copolymer blends, these leaders and tippets are designed to dramatically reduce water absorption while retaining optimum flexibility, essential for high knot strength. This unique combination ensures unsurpassed performance in all fishing conditions, whether freshwater or river.
The wet knot strength of Absolute nylon leaders and tippets is 29% higher than previous materials used by Scientific Anglers, and up to 40% higher compared to competing products. This significant improvement gives anglers greater confidence in the durability and reliability of their equipment, even in the most demanding situations.
Absolute fluorocarbon leaders and tippets also boast 15% more resistance to wet knots than previous materials, while offering incredible clarity and abrasion resistance. This makes them ideal for clear-water fishing, where discretion is paramount.
One of the most notable features of these leaders is their bright orange butt section, designed to improve bite detection, a major asset when fishing with indicators in still water or rivers, targeting mainly trout. The specific design of these leaders, with a short butt section and a long tippet section, enables nymphs to sink quickly and evenly, maximizing the chances of success.
