Hand Tied Tapered Leaders for Redfish

Being able to present your Perfect Redfish Flies properly requires a good tapered leader, irregardless of the type of water or fly you are fishing. They are tied with a stiff, powerful butt section to deliver flies in strong winds.

Although the leaders are fairly stiff throughout their length, they still have enough elasticity to absorb the shock from the sudden surge of the strong run of the Redfish. The tough mono is just hard enough to offer an adequate amount of resistance to abrasion, but forgiving enough for your smaller flies to imitate the behavior of the food the fly represents..

Casting accuracy to tailing and cruising Redfish often makes the difference in catching the fish or not. Our Perfect Fly Redfish leaders are designed to enable the angler to deliver their flies precisely where you want them to go. Like all the Perfect Fly leaders, they transfer energy from the fly line to the fly in a predictable manner.

These Perfect Fly hand tied tapered mono leaders have a large diameter butt section that transitions down in steps to the tippet. The mid sections help make a smooth transition from the fly line to the fly.

Using a loop to loop connection, the perfection loop enables you to quickly and easily change to other leaders with different flies already tied on them. These leader are designed specifically for the anglers that pursue Redfish, They are effective when used on inshore flats, creeks, coves, bays, sounds and inlets. They are especially good for sight fishing because their taper is designed to deliver the fly to its target accurately.

We use Mason Hard Nylon leader material. The leaders step down in size from the butt to the tippet in 5 sections including the tippet. The butt section is 5 feet in length and begins with a perfection loop to enable changing leaders quickly and easily. The tippet section is 2 feet in length. As your line unrolls towards the target and arrives at the leader you need enough flexible weight to make the leader continue to unroll. Using heavy mono that’s half the length of the leader enough energy is retained to turn the flies over well.
