Predator Leaders

The Scientific Anglers Predator Leaders are built for targeting powerful, toothy fish that demand added strength and abrasion resistance. The 8-foot tapered leader provides smooth turnover of larger flies while maintaining the durability needed for demanding predator fishing conditions.

Each leader features an abrasion-resistant tapered butt section paired with a 15-inch section of tooth-resistant 1x7 stainless steel wire. The wire is coated with black nylon for low visibility, providing a durable connection when fishing around sharp teeth while helping reduce visibility in the water.

Heavy-duty black single-barrel sleeves provide secure attachment of flies, creating a ready-to-fish predator leader system. Available with either a 20 lb or 45 lb wire section, anglers can select the strength that best matches their target species, fly size, and fishing conditions.
