More Information:
This is Ultima's tapered version of their high performance Powerflex Shock Leader. This revolutionary tapered shock leader reduces the size of your leader knot allowing it to pass through the guides of your rod more smoothly and ultimately increasing casting distance. A smaller leader knot also minimises the chances of any weed or debris that might attach to the knot while retrieving a fish, there is nothing more frustrating than reeling in a good sized fish and having to stop and clean your leader knot before it can pass through your top guide. Each spool of powerflex tapered shock leaders contains 5 separate leaders and ranges in braking stains from 15 to 50lb, 15 to 60lb and 18 to 70lb.
Be sure to use a correctly tied Shock Leader Knot when joining your shockleader to your main line. No matter how good our lines are, if there is an incorrect or badly tied knot, this can lose you fish, as well as be extremely dangerous. Remember to practice knots until you can tie them perfectly every time.
What the Pro's Say

"I never used to use Tapered Leaders much, but have now found Powerflex Tapered Leaders ideal for long rod fixed spool angling. The small knot, plus the knot being more turns on the reel seems to make much less resistance and rattle as it passes through the rod rings. Also, great for tying onto light lines. And you obviously get the knot onto the reel earlier for bringing a fish through the surf / backwash zone."> John Lintern.
