Feather Craft Small Game Leader

The Feather Craft Small Game Leader is a fluorocarbon leader butt-section built for freshwater anglers throwing larger, air-resistant flies on medium-weight rods. Designed to turn over streamers, bass bugs, and weighted patterns with authority, it provides a clean, durable foundation for versatile leader systems.

Performance

Constructed from fluorocarbon, this 6-foot leader butt-section delivers strength, abrasion resistance, and reduced visibility in freshwater environments. The stout design helps drive large streamers and poppers without collapsing, while loop-to-loop connections on both ends make rigging fast and reliable.
