Shop tapered leaders and tippet from RIO, Scientific Anglers and Orvis in nylon and fluorocarbon, from 7.5- and 9-foot trout leaders to Euro nymph, bass, saltwater and wire bite options. Popular lines include RIO Powerflex and Powerflex Plus, Scientific Anglers Absolute, and Orvis SuperStrong Plus and Mirage fluorocarbon. We also carry tippet rings, sighter material, snaps and swivels.

Clear spring creeks and tailwaters often call for long, fine leaders, such as 9 feet tapered to 5X or 6X, while small brook trout streams fish well with shorter leaders. Euro nymphing uses long mono rigs with a sighter, and bass, streamer and saltwater fishing call for shorter, heavier setups. Keep spare spools in your pack or vest, and find strike indicators and split shot in our accessories. Rigging questions? Our Harrisonburg, Virginia fly shop is at (540) 434-2444.
