If you're fishing tiny flies to exceptionally wary bonefish in calm, shallow water, a standard bonefish leader with a finer taper will usually land more softly and provide a more delicate presentation. The HD is at its best when wind, larger flies, or tougher fishing conditions demand a more aggressive leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"10' \/ 8 LB","offer_id":53744666804538,"sku":"59340","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10' \/ 10 LB","offer_id":53744666870074,"sku":"59341","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10' \/ 12 LB","offer_id":53744666935610,"sku":"59342","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10' \/ 16 LB","offer_id":53744667001146,"sku":"59343","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12' \/ 8 LB","offer_id":53744666771770,"sku":"59345","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12' \/ 10 LB","offer_id":53744666837306,"sku":"59346","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12' \/ 12 LB","offer_id":53744666902842,"sku":"59347","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12' \/ 16 LB","offer_id":53744666968378,"sku":"59348","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/7464\/1466\/files\/PerformX-HD-Bonefish__01133.jpg?v=1755134362","url":"https:\/\/www.yellowdogflyfishing.com\/products\/umpqua-perform-x-hd-bonefish-leader-1","provider":"Yellow Dog Flyfishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
