Scientific Anglers Absolute Trout Leaders are made with a proprietary copolymer blend that is designed to drastically reduce water absorption while maintaining optimal suppleness for high knot strength. Scientific Anglers Absolute Trout Leaders are already incredibly strong for their diameter. Add the increase in knot strength and you have a very strong leader for the same diameter you’re used to.

Scientific Anglers Absolute Trout Leaders have a 29% higher wet knot strength than previous Scientific Anglers leaders and claim to be 40% stronger wet knot strength than their competitors.
