I have used your super soft tapered leaders all of last year dry fly fishing on the great limestone lakes of Ireland . I found them casting size18 dry flies straight and most importantly great presentation. A joy to fish with.
I picked up the 4lb 12’ leader 3 pack and caught 12 fish over 2 days. My best was a 42cm Brown out of a NSW stream. These are great leaders.
We're very pleased to hear that Darryl. Thanks from all at Sunray HQ.
Excellent leaders that are exactly as advertised. Many tapered leaders are a pain due to coil memory from being stored on the reel. These have virtually no memory, even when stored for a while on a small arbour reel.
These leaders are as good as advertised!
Uncoil straight and stay that way.
Wow !! By far the best tapered leaders I have ever used !! So easy to lay my fly into some crazy tight spots. Zero coil after the first cast !! If your not fishing the Sunray soft leaders your Blowing-it !!
Hi Michael, thank you for the fantastic review and the photos. It looks like you've clicked the wrong amount of stars though. We're presuming you mean 5 stars.
We all know and have seen our leaders land in a 'clump' with a heck of a 'Splash' spooking any fish in the vicinity. Something we don't want to happen.
How did I guarantee! a soft landing time after time after time?
the answer is so very simple 'Buy the proper product of course, Sunray's Straight 'n' Soft Leaders (light grey & clear tip) from the online store another first class product from Sunray that actually works! You might buy yours from a tackle dealer or make your own! But be assured you can only get this modern leader which makes catching more fish, less drop offs and is much kinder to the fish, guaranteeing your sport for another catch and release day. There is only 'one' right way when it comes to fly fishing! That way is the 'Sunray' price is very favourable too! try it yourself. If you want truly straight and soft landings that does not spook fish take a look at the details on the net www.sunrayflyfish.com
No more coily leaders. No more spooking fish.
Get straight to the point. Don't compromise with leaders that scare fish.
Achieving a dead straight cast is hard enough. Don't make it harder with leaders that are too thick and shiny. Sunray leaders are light grey in the butt section and clear at the tip. This reduces light reflection and make the Nylon softer, creating a more natural presentation.
Straight out of the packet I could tell these leaders were different. They feel designed....like mini fly lines. They do exactly as advertised. Amazing.
Good knot strength and very low visibility to the fish.

"As advertised"
All other leaders I tried were too thick and shiny. These, from Sunray are exactly as advertised, soft and thin.

"Drag free drifts"
I use these leaders all the time now after seeing how much drag my old leaders were giving me
Terry L
"Great for clear waters"
The rivers round here are very clear, these leaders get my a very delicate presentation and I've definitely seen my catch rates increase.
