At a Glance: Fly Lines, Leaders, & Tippet


When it comes to the highly specialized sport of fly fishing, it all comes down to the gear. One of the most important aspects of the gear required is the fly line. Fly lines are unique for each style, environment, and fish species the angler is taking on. Some lines are built strong to reel in those large saltwater fish, Pike, and Salmon. While other lines are made lighter for those skittish Trout, Bass, and Panfish. Fly lines come in different densities and coatings to alter the visibility and feel depending on the water conditions the angler is working with.


Leaders are short pieces of line that extend the fly line but also add an element of stealth to those visible fly lines. This can be a huge advantage to the fly fishermen pursuing Trout, which can be extremely easy to spook and tend to be a cautious fish. Leaders assist with achieving that optimal fly presentation that can help you land that trophy catch. Tippet is even shorter and can either be used to finish off or completely replace a leader. Both leaders and tippet can be made to sink without weights, which again helps with stealth and altering tactics. Whatever it is you need, from dense line to monofilament tippet, to braided backing, FishUSA has got you covered.


FishUSA offers the top brands for your fly lines, leaders, and tippet including RIO, Airflo, Cortland, Scientific Anglers, and Seaguar
