Vision Light Trout Polyleader | Float - inter - sink

5 ft short polyleader for finest trout fly fishing. Polyleaders are special leaders for fly fishing that have different sink rates. They are used to offer the flies at different depths in the water, depending on the conditions and behavior of the fish. Polyleader consist of a thin tapered monofilament core with a flexible polymer coating on the outside. Therefore they are more durable and turn over better than normal leaders. The loop in the leader makes it easy to change the leader to floating, intermediate or sinking. There are several types of polyleaders with different sink rates, which refer to the speed at which the leader sinks in the water.

1. Floating Polyleader: these polyleaders float on the surface of the water and are good for fishing with dry flies or wet flies that are to be fished on the surface. They have no sink rate and keep the fly on the surface.
2. Intermediate Polyleader: These polyleaders sink slowly and are in the middle water column. They are good for fishing wet flies and nymphs in shallow waters or when the fish are active intermediate depths.
3. Sink tip Polyleader: These polyleaders have a faster sink rate and sink faster to reach greater depths. They are useful when the fish are active in deeper waters.
4. Fast / Ex. Fast Sink Polyleader: These polyleaders have the fastest sink rate and are designed to reach great depths quickly. They are ideal for fishing in deep lakes and pools or when stream fishing in strong, deep current.

Your choice of polyleader depends on several factors, including water depth, fish behavior and the type of flies you use. It is often useful to have different polyleaders with different sink rates in your gear to adapt to changing conditions.
