Product details
The Power Strike Pro Tapered Nylon Leader Dry & Stealth LT Trout 12 ft is designed for ultra-finesse fishing where stealth and drift control are crucial. Optimized for #0–4 fly lines, it provides an exceptionally natural presentation thanks to a softer overall profile and a refined taper. Delivered as a 2-pack in a UV-proof zip pouch, it comes pre-looped and in a subtle brown tint for minimal visibility in clear water.
The Dry & Stealth LT is intended to be lengthened, allowing anglers to add tippet sections tailored to conditions. Ideally, thinner tippet should be added, though similar diameters also work fine. This leader can easily turn over up to 2 meters (7 ft) of tippet, making it extremely versatile.
Using a 2 mm tippet ring is highly recommended, allowing maximum flexibility when building customized leader setups with stepped-down diameters.
Taper profile
The leader features:
Butt – 44% (165 cm / 5.4 ft)
Taper – 42% (150 cm / 4.9 ft)
Tip – 14% (50 cm / 1.6 ft)
The 0.48 mm butt diameter is the perfect match for lighter fly lines, providing increased flexibility to conform to surface currents and delay drag.
Example leader extension (3X/4X base)
For an 18–20+ ft leader:
Add 50 cm of 4X
Then a 5X tippet (100–200 cm)
For finer 6X presentations:
Add 50 cm of 4X
Add 50 cm of 5X
Then 6X tippet (100–200 cm)
A typical tippet length is around 150 cm, but extending to 200 cm creates more slack and improves drag-free presentation in complex currents.
