FAQ
How Does the TroutHunter Nylon Leader Compare to Fluorocarbon Leaders?
Nylon and fluorocarbon each have their strengths. The TroutHunter Nylon Leader floats better, making it the preferred choice for dry flies and other surface presentations. It also offers slightly more stretch, which helps protect fine tippets during hooksets and fights. Fluorocarbon, on the other hand, sinks faster and offers greater abrasion resistance, making it better suited for subsurface applications.
