Airflo Bonefish Floating 7' PolyLeader

The Airflo Bonefish Polyleaders may well be some of the best leader butts made. They use a harder polymer here for better abrasion resistance and for slicing through the wind for these bonefish versions. These things are so easy, long lasting, and wildly effective.  They float like a dream too and almost never need any additional floatant.

These are floating "butt sections" to which you simply add tippet, or a transition piece and then tippet. The Bonefish version here is 7' and features a welded loop on the butt end so that you can easily attach to your fly line via loop-to-loop connection. The Bonefish versions here feature a medium weight mono core and are best suited for line weights 6-8wt lines and where.012" or thinner tippets are required. We typically add around 2-4' of tippet or transtion/tippet for best performance.

******Please note that these things will work just fine for ANY fish or fly that requires .012"- .010" tippet or so.

* 7' Polyurethane floating, tapered butt section. Just add tippet! (or transition and tippet)
* Superior turnover
* Long lasting
* Will turn over tippets from 4-12' (mostly recommended is 2-4')
* No water spray or retention
* Ready looped on the butt end for attaching to fly line
* Mono connector for attaching the tippet in a variety of ways
* Non-toxic- polyurethane
* Floating- Clear

The Bonefish Polyleaders here have an exposed mono "connector" on the front end of .012". You can either tie a perfection loop in the end of this and go straight to tippet, or blood knot or surgeons knot a transition piece and then loop the tippet.

For tippets of .012" or .011", you should be able to go straight from connector to tippet. For thinner tippets, it is really best to tie a 1-2' piece of "transition" and we usually go 0X and then loop-to-loop for the final, thinner diameter, say 1X or 2X. 

***The Airflo website states that you should use tippets of 24lb or less on these. That is TOTALLY INCORRECT. With a core/connector of .012", that would mean, even with the best mono/fluoro out there, it would be more like 18lb. Let's talk in terms of diameter, and these are for .012" or thinner diameter. Either a mistake or Airflo is just flat out wrong!
