Rio and Airflo make special sinking leaders that come in different lengths and sink-rates now.
They usually come in 5, 10 and 15 foot lengths with a welded loop on one end and a short mono butt section on the other.
The come in floating, clear slow sinking and then several faster sink rates.
They are very popular with the two-handed fly fishers but anyone can take advantage of their usefulness.
For single handed Steelheading with a full floating line you could get a couple 10' sinking leaders. One in 10' type 3 and another in 10' type 6 sink-rate for getting you fly down.
Most of them have a short mono butt section so you could just loop on 2-3 feet of 2x fluorocarbon tippet and tie on your fly.
Many are using these for trout fishing as well.
Naturally, we have a large selection of these at the shop.
Anyone here using them?
