Leader Materials

MYSTIC CREEK LEADERS

OUR FLAG SHIP PRODUCT
Mystic Creek Leaders are constructed in the same fashion as our Uni-Blend Leaders, with the exception of the materials. Mystic Creek Leaders use a finer diameter polyester thread that was designed by Gütermann as an economical substitute for silk. The major difference is that this thread has no weak spots exhibited by silk, also the thread is more consistent in quality and diameter than silk. This thread is much finer than our other threads, about .002" and .003" in diameter. This results in a more supple leader with a tighter furl. A standard 5 1/2 foot Uni-Blend uses about 122 feet of thread, a 5 1/2 foot Mystic Creek Leader uses over 250 feet of thread. They have a slight negative buoyancy and will slowly sink unless treated with a floatant.

Mystic Creek Leaders perform like no other leader on the market today.

We have 35 colors to mix and match from.

UNI-BLEND LEADERS

OUR ORIGINAL PRODUCT

Uni-Blend Leaders are made with a unique blend of 6/0 Uni-Thread and a premium monofilament. The leaders fade from your choice of 26 colors to clear at the tippet end.
Uni-Blend leaders have virtually no memory at all. They have a slight negative buoyancy and will slowly sink unless treated with a floatant. Our Uni-Blend leaders are a versatile and economic performance leader.

MONOFILAMENT LEADERS

My monofilament leaders are made from a premium monofilament. They are available in the following colors: Clear - Cajun Red - Smoke Grey - Amber Leaf Camo** and Chartreuse**. Monofilament Leaders are slightly stiffer than my poly leaders are, even so they are much more supple and memory resistant than knotted and tapered monofilament leaders. They will toss a heavier fly and are very economical. They have a slight negative buoyancy and will slowly sink unless treated with a floatant.
** Amber Leaf Camo and Chartreuse are
only available in 6-8 weight leaders and above**

POWER PRO SPECTRA

Power Pro Super Leaders are made from Spectra fiber from Power Pro. They are by far the toughest, strongest and most abrasion resistant leader we make. They are similar in size to their thread based counter parts, just a bit thicker. They are 4-10 times as strong as our thread based leaders.

Below is the average breaking strength for our Power Pro Super Leaders Super Leaders.

2-4 wt 30 lb - 4-6 wt 48 lb - 6-8 wt 60 lb - 8-10 wt 90 lb

10-12 wt 120 lb - 12-14 wt 180 lb

Power Pro Super Leaders Super Leaders are available in Moss Green, Phantom Red and Hi-Viz Yellow.

they are a fairly stiff leader meant for big fish and or heavy cover. Use a Toothy Critter stainless steel tippet and you have a great leader for Northern Pike and Muskie.

One of my clients had great success in South America fishing for Peacock Bass.

Just a quick FYI - All leaders need to be cared for just like your quality fly lines. Just clean and rinse them off at the end of the day. With a little care your furled leader can last for a few seasons or more.
