Umpqua Deceiver HD Salmon & Steelhead Fluorocarbon Leader 12ft

The Umpqua Deceiver HD leaders and tippets are thoughtfully designed from A to Z and tailored for their specific purposes. Not only in terms of length and strength, but especially regarding material composition and properties, these fluorocarbon leaders are optimized for their intended niche. They cover a wide range of applications from delicate trout fishing to salmon.

Deceiver HD Salmon & Steelhead Leader
The knotless tapered Deceiver HD Salmon and Steelhead leaders are made from 100% fluorocarbon. They have a special taper that allows for clean presentations even in strong winds and with weighted flies - whether on salmon or sea trout rivers, or in the tropics for bonefish, permit, and others.

Like any other FC, Umpqua's fluorocarbon has two major advantages: First, FC has a refractive index comparable to water. This means that FC leaders are almost invisible in water. In crystal clear waters, it often has an edge over conventional nylon (monofilament) leaders. Second, fluorocarbon sinks slightly, whereas nylon floats on the surface. For this reason, and also because of its higher abrasion resistance, FC is often used where stones or other structures pose a threat during the fight.
