Stanton Hector's Double Taper

Please notice: LeaderCalc hasn't been optimized for small screens. Turning some devices horizontally might make it easier to use, but using a suitably large screen is the best solution.

Category: Convex & Double Taper Leaders

These ultralight, tapered leaders consist of two sections: leader and tapered tippet. The first four sections can end in a perfection loop, to which the last three are added. Leaders are all tied with Maxima Ultra Green monofilament. You can shorten the three tippet sections for windy conditions.

Since you got this far …

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
