West Branch Delaware

Summary:
I have fished with RIO leaders for about five years. I started off with regular fishing lines until I was introduced to leader fishing. When I discovered RIO my success ratio increased by 50%. It is the strongest line pound for pound that I have ever encountered.

Strengths:
It is great for tying knots and the 6x is the best for nymph fishing for fish 16 inches or less.

Weaknesses:
none thus far.

Similar Products Used:
Cortland tippet material which is not even a comparison.
