Aliox Knotted Leader 5m - Sight Nymphing - Devaux
Leader Aliox Knotted 5 m - Sight Nymphing - Devaux
The Aliox Knotted Sight Nymphing Leader by Devaux is specially designed to present a nymph with accuracy and stealth in front of spotted fish.
Its 5 m length keeps the fly line away from the fishing zone and lets you lay the nymph down with greater finesse.
Its tapered construction is optimized to place the nymph accurately and improve drift control.
Made with memory-free ALIOX TIGER monofilament, this leader reduces coils and stays straighter more easily.
The tippet is clear and made with SUPER TIPPET TIGER.

La Fine Mouche's take: this is the ideal leader for sight nymphing. Its length keeps the fly line away from the fish, and its specific taper helps place the nymph accurately without disturbing the presentation. This leader formula was developed by Jean-Marc Chignard, a recognized specialist in sight nymphing.
Tip: When the tippet becomes too short or damaged after several fish, cut it back, then make a micro loop or fit a micro ring. Then simply attach a new tippet of around 1.5 m, in nylon or fluorocarbon, in the desired diameter.
