Absolute Trout Presentation
Freshwater Tapered Leader
Absolute Trout Presentation Leaders feature a larger butt diameter and progressive taper for easy turnover and delicate presentation.
Absolute leaders are made with proprietary copolymer blends that are designed to drastically reduce water absorption while maintaining an optimal suppleness for high knot strength. Absolute nylon leaders and tippet have a 29% higher wet knot strength compared to our previous material and up to 40% higher wet knot strength when compared to our competitors. Our new paper-based leader packaging is now 100% recyclable. All materials, inks, and window are fully biodegradable to protect our streams and reduce our environmental footprint.

Marc Griffiths –
We use long leaders on New Zealand backcountry streams because we often cast to wary sighted fish in gin clear water. We also need these leaders to deliver large wind resistant dry flies and fairly heavy tungsten nymphs. The 14 foot 3X presentation leaders are the best I have used for this purpose.
The butt sections, being thicker than average, have both the stiffness and mass to turn over wind resistant and heavy flies. The 14 ft 3X presentation leader pairs very well with a 5 wr MPX fly line. I usually trim back 2 ft of the tippet, add a tippet ring, and then attach 2-3 ft of 4X Trout Supreme Fluorocarbon.
