Convex, short

Category: Convex & Double Taper Leaders
Some people believe that a thicker segment can be included between the butt and the front of a leader to aid loop shape, line speed and fly turnover.

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.
