Woven Leader NG Peche à Soie (2 m)

New generation of braided leader, denser, more supple with a higher float on the water.

Drawing on decades of experience in silk thread weaving, the Pêche à Soie team has rethought and redesigned the profile of this fly leader to ensure precise presentations with no energy loss. Woven with a high-performance nylon thread well known among anglers, the Stroft.

Key features

• The braided section (length 1.50 m, 2 m and 3 m) is tapered and ends with a small loop, allowing tippets to be changed at will depending on fishing conditions. Your braided section offers great longevity.
• Supplied with a 2 m nylon tippet composed of 3 sections. Final tippet in 14/100 for leader no. 1 and 16/100 for leader no. 2. The tippet can be modified at will depending on fishing conditions.
• No memory for very precise presentations.
• Does not twist, and robust thanks to a very tight weave. The braided section must be greased before each fishing session.

Usage tips

You simply connect it by threading the tip of your fly line inside the leader. Then just apply a drop of glue and you're done. You get a knot-free connection in the exact continuation of the fly line, passing perfectly through the guides.
Leaders are supplied with a piece of large-diameter nylon already inserted in the braid. Before installation, remove this nylon and insert the tip of your fly line in its place. This retaining nylon serves to perfectly maintain the opening and shape of the braid, making the quick and precise insertion of the fly line tip easier.

To achieve the best performance from your leader, it is recommended to grease it entirely before each use. Applying the product to a perfectly dry leader ensures better adhesion and optimal effectiveness. This treatment improves floatability, promotes a more natural fly presentation, and optimizes drift control on the surface. Greasing can be done with the same product used for the maintenance and floatability of dry flies, making it a simple and practical solution at the waterside. Regular maintenance also ensures better longevity of the leader and consistent performance across fishing sessions.

• Leader no. 1: for fly line 2 and 3
• Leader no. 2: for fly line 4 and 5
