RIO Products: Straighten A Heavy Leader

In this RIO Fly Fishing Tip, Simon Gawesworth shows how to easily stretch out a heavy saltwater leader. Most saltwater leaders are made of a heavy, stiff nylon, which when taken out of the pack, will have “memory” and be coily. Stretching the leader before you fish it ensures you have a better, straighter presentation of your fly, and also means you are in more direct contact with the fly when a fish eats – something very important for effective hook sets.

 

 

RIO’s Fly Fishing Tips series are short, less-than-a-minute videos, each bought to you by a RIO employee or ambassador and showing a single fly fishing tip to help you become a better fly fisher. The series includes freshwater, saltwater and Spey topics, and a mix of casting, fishing and gear tips – some basic, some technical, and everything in between.

Each new tip is released on RIO’s Facebook and Instagram pages every Friday, so if you like the sound of this series and want to get these tips quickly, be sure to follow RIO on these platforms.
