Bozeman FlyWorks 5 Pack - Fly Fishing Tapered Leaders - 12' (9', 5X)

tried these leaders at the Red River in NM and they worked well. would buy them again if I needed new leaders again. Seem to be tough and good enough to chatch big trout on. Caught about a 2 pound trout with no problems on these leaders.

I picked up a pack of these on a whim as I was moving to CO for the summer and was running low on RIO leaders. I didn’t expect much because they were 1/2 pice of what I was used to ordering. These leaders exceeded my expectations greatly!Pros:-high quality-cheapCons:…Overall I would recommend these leaders to anyone looking to fly fish, especially in a budget conscious way.

Pretty much 5 tapered leaders for the price of a 3 pack of bigger name brands. I'm relatively new to fly fishing (2-3 years) so haven't got into the intricacies of making my own leaders, but routinely replace last 2 feet of my leader with 5X flurocarbon tippet. I've only used this in the Fall with nymphs and had good luck with it and couldn't tell any difference to the big name brand I've used before. Will hold off on giving 5* until I try it with dries in the Spring and see how it holds up there.

Thankfully, I don't go through leaders very quickly. In this case, it meant that my Bozeman Flyworks leaders sat in the leader wallet for a while, before I put one on. Very impressed. Butt section was wrapped quite a few times in the coil, so it took some straightening out, but the mid-body and tippet were strong yet supple, with very good roll-over in the loops. Might consider phasing these in as more than just my 9' 5x option.

The leaders I received 9' 5X work well.They float high, seem very supple and don't hold a lot of memory out of the package.The one thing I noticed about the taper is the front section is pretty small so you might be adding tippit a bit sooner than with an Orvis super strong.One or the advantages of this taper is it turns over larger flies very well. You can cast a size 10 Hornberg or a large wullf all afternoon without twisting your leader.They are a good leader at a great price about half the cost of Orvis.. If you are throwing large dries on a pond or hopper dropper combos on a river you cant go wrong.I an very happy with my leaders but when it comes to delicate presentations and smaller flies I will keep using my Orvis super strong leaders.

Excellent tapered leader! All it took was two stretches through the fingers to clear out the memory curls. Zero issues with knot strength, I couldn't be happier. I have always used Rio or SA, Bozeman will get my money from now on! Thanks

I burned through all of min within a few days, seems no matter what knot I used the line would come lose and curl on me. I have been fly fishing for years and know my knots, but I would pass on these if I was going to buy again.

Excellent value for the money and knot easily. The line doesn't have a ton of memory and straightens pretty easily. My only complaint is that one leader (out of two packs) was knotted when I tried to unroll it, not a huge deal but a little frustrating.
