Leader and Tippet

Tapered leaders, monofilament and fluorocarbon tippet, and specialty leaders for Alaska. As a rule of thumb, don’t use Trout Leaders to fish for salmon or steelhead. Or if you are casting large heavy streamers, a Salmon Steelhead Leader is your best bet.

Rio Salmon/Steelhead Leaders match up very well with Maxima Ultragreen Tippet or FC Sniper Fluorocarbon Tippet.

Rio Trout Leaders match up with Rio Powerflex Tippet or Rio Fluoroflex tippet.

    RIO’S TWIST CLIPS are ultra-fast, easy connection clips that allow anglers to change flies with extreme ease and speed, and prevents leaders and tippet sections getting too short.

The Size 3 Twist Clips are more salmon/steelhead sized and work with flies in the #1/0 - #4.
