Leaders and Tippet

In flyfishing, the leader is the nylon monofilament that connects to your fly line and extends to your fly.  It is, in effect, a nearly invisible extension of your fly line that continues to transfer the force of your cast all the way to the fly.  With proper casting technique, a well designed leader will turn the fly over properly and land it on the water correctly and gently at the end of the cast.
