Joe Lazar Five Section Tapered - 6X

Category: Miscellaneous Leaders
This is an all-purpose leader. The originator, Joe Lazar, ties it with a Maxima Chameleon butt, and three Maxima Ultragreen mid-sections. The tippet can be of your choice, and in spite of showing only 4X to 6X here, it can be as thin as 8X.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.

See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.
