Orvis Mirage Fluorocarbon Tapered Leader 9 ft 2er Pack
The Mirage leaders from Orvis are made from 100% fluorocarbon. This has two major advantages: Firstly, FC has a comparable refractive index to water. This means that leaders made from FC are almost invisible in the water. Especially when fishing in still water or crystal-clear running water, fluorocarbon often has the edge over conventional nylon (monofilament) leaders. On the other hand, fluorocarbon sinks easily, whereas nylon floats on the surface. For this reason, and also because of its higher abrasion resistance, FC is often used for streamer or nymph fishing. Fluorocarbon has also become the first choice for many fly fishermen in salt water, where obstacles in the water can often cause additional friction - both on the local coast and in the tropics, where hard mouths (e.g. tarpon) also cause greater abrasion.

One of the most traditional brands in the world of fly fishing is undoubtedly Orivs. Founded in 1856 by Charles F. Orvis in Vermont, the American company is one of the most influential and trusted in the scene. From fly rods and reels, to lines, accessories and to apparel, Orvis has the right gear for every situation. We especially like Orvis' commitment to conservation. The company has already donated over $20 million to conservation efforts over the past 25 years - an important contribution to preserving the nature we all love.
