  • Whether you are purchasing leaders or building your own, in this article Capt. Bruce Chard outlines how to select the best leader for your fishing conditions and needs on the water. “The leader is important not just for its strength and durability in landing fish,” he writes. “Remember that first you have to hook that tarpon, permit, or bonefish. If you can’t deliver the fly correctly, it doesn’t matter how strong the leader is.” Via Fly Fisherman.
