Our French leaders are hand tied by the Fish On Team using high quality nylon monofilament. After tying each leader is chemically treated to increase suppleness and reduce line memory resulting in accurate easy casting leaders less prone to tangles or kinking. French leaders are available in brown or clear in three tapers to suit a wide range of conditions.
