More information : Snowbee Braided Leaders - A braided leader is produced by braiding (also called plaiting) three or more line filaments together, normally nylon, however in the past they were made of other materials including horse hair. Compared to monofilament and fluorocarbon line, braided leaders in fly fishing are rare. These lines tend to be much stronger than single-filament lines and have just enough stretch to act as a shock absorber, they also offer excellent turnover and are almost indestructible. A big benefit to the fly fishing angler is using a sinking or intermediate braided leader is an easy and cheap way to convert a floating line into a sink tip, you can easily change the braided leader to change depth at which your flies are fishing. For more information and help checkout our Leader & Tippet help page.

222-Density: : 222-Floating BL-F

Very poor quality item. Braided loops at both ends broke. First to break was tippet attachment loop when a trout of around 2lbs took the fly. Tied new loop but other loop broke when fly snagged on item behind me when casting. Have since been told Snowbee source these from China, which may explain poor quality.

Paul S.

Thank you for your review, apologies you have had this item break when fishing and snagging, they are normally very reliable. We will arrange a replacement to be sent to you.
