October 6, 2011 By: Kirk Deeter

RIO’s new Powerflex Trout leaders are manufactured to precise tolerances using the latest technology and materials. Made with the most advanced and modern copolymers, these leaders have an unsurpassed tensile and knot strength and have an ideal blend of stretch and suppleness.

Each leader has a carefully designed taper that features a long, powerful butt section to turn over heavy indicator rigs and handle tough winds. The supple nature of the copolymers deliver tiny dry flies with the utmost in delicacy. A perfection loop in the butt end makes rigging quick and simple.
