ALL NEW EXTRA STRONG MATERIAL WITH 95% KNOT STRENGTH!
Every Climax Leader is designed with a stiff butt section to transfer your casting energy progressively down the length of the leader to the tippet section. All leaders are manufactured with high-abrasion resistance, yet supple co-polymer materials, which allow this energy transfer to deliver a quick, powerful turnover and delicate, natural presentation of the fly.
Climax Leaders are specifically designed for different species of fish and fishing conditions. These designs give maximum leader performance for specific fishing techniques.
Trout
Trout are arguably the most sought after fish by fly fishers the world over. Today we offer the demanding trout angler the best of two worlds: Powerful turnover from a stiffer butt section teamed with delicate tippet presentation and just the right amount of shock absorbing stretch from the material. Perfection, available in a wide range of lengths and sizes:
Nymph
We’ve taken a lot of the guess work out by designing a superb casting and fishing leader that has a slim strike indicator built into the middle.
Salmon/Steelhead
The almost infinite variety of conditions and fly sizes needed for successful Salmon and Steelhead fishing demands an equally diverse arsenal of leaders for the task. All leaders have strong butts, semi-quick tapers and long tippets to allow the fly to swim in a realistic fashion. Available in the following sizes:
Trout Tippet Material
True Diameter. Great diameter to strength ratio. High knot strength, high-abrasion resistant material matches Climax leaders.
Available in 30 meter spools
Sizes:
0X - 7X
Steelhead / Salmon Tippet Material
A very hard monofilament to match the Climax Salmon, Steelhead and Bass leaders.

Fluorocarbon tippet Material
Fluorocarbon Material is made from a material having the same light refraction as water. It virtually disappears in the water making it impossible for the fish to detect! The hard, smooth surface of Fluorocarbon creates less friction and heat on the material as you tighten your knot, therefore, knots are stronger.
Available in 30 meter spools
sizes: 0X-8X
Leader Dimensions and Strength
The "X" designation on leaders applies to diameter. As the "X" size goes up in number the diameter of the leader goes down in size.
