Choosing Leaders & Tippet 

Start with the fly or rig you need to fish and the presentation you need to make. From there, consider the water, visibility and turnover demands before choosing leader length, construction and terminal size. 

Tippet lets you maintain or adjust the terminal section of the system as conditions, flies and presentations change. Choose leader and tippet components to work together rather than treating either one as an isolated size decision.
