Description
Until now, the most effective taper design for a fly leader has only been possible by hand-tying. Now, the materials and machinery used in producing these knotless Cabela's® Tapered Trout Leaders create a uniform 50% butt section with a rapid stepdown to an energy-dissipating tippet section, for flawless turnover every time. Formulated for suppleness. 3-Pack.

Horrible lineThese leaders have several problems:
1) No loop pre-tied to attach to the main fly line.
2) The butt end (large end) of the leader is very stiff which makes tying a loop onto the end almost impossible.
3) The line is very weak. I bought a 4x leader which should be good for a 6lb breaking strength and on small stocker trout it would break on every hook set just above the tippet knot.
Thought I would save a few bucks by getting these and boy was I wrong. Never again. I switched to a better name brand leader after losing 4 fish and 4 flies in a row and I never lost another fish to a break off.

No loop in leaderThe filament is fine and the leader functions as expected. Surprisingly, the leaders do not have loops in them, so one has to tie them onto the line. Kind of a hassle.

Great leadersI recently went to Colorado to fly fish for a week, and grabbed a 3 pack of these leaders for the trip. They held up great, even with 22 inch rainbows putting them to the test. Strong, turned over nicely on the cast, and the price was certainly right. I'd buy them again. Oh, and they didn't get all tangled and knotted when I opened each to tie one on the line.

good enoughCaught a ton of trout with these. No loop but some anglers tie direct to the butt and you should know a couple loop knots anyway. Fly tackle Is ridiculously pricey so saving a buck or two on leaders is a good thing.

Flyfishing TimeThese leaders save a few $ and the loop to mount them to the fly line is easy to do.

New to Fly FishingI am new to fly fishing, meaning, I literally got my gear delivered on Monday. I was confused at first because I did not understand what the #x means. After I got my product I was glad to see that this line is durable, supple, and abrasion resistant. I used a loop to attach my leader at first but later found that a nail knot is great for attaching directly to the fly line.
The following is from the chart on the back of the leader package:
2x: .022 butt diameter, .009 tippet diameter, 10lb test, 6, 8,and 10 size hooks
3x: .020 butt diameter, .008 tippet diameter, 8lb test, 10, 12, 14 size hooks
4x: .020 butt diameter, .007 tippet diameter, 6lb test, 12, 14, 16 size hooks
5x: .019 butt diameter, .006 tippet diameter 5lb test, 14, 16, 18 size hooks
6x: .017 butt diameter, .005 tippet diameter, 3.5lb test, 16, 18, 20, 22 size hooks
7x: .016 butt diameter, .004 tippet diameter, 2lb test, 18, 20, 22, 24 size hooks

Great ValueI picked up a 3 pack (5X) for about $8.00 and had no problems with the product. I caught a few 2lb Rainbow Trout and the leader worked well. Remember you have to tie your own loop in the leader. If tying my own loop saves me money; no prob.
