Balzer Tapertips Tapered Leader Line 15m – 0.35-0.58mm

Balzer Tapertips Tapered Leader Line – 15m

The Balzer Tapertips Tapered Leader is a 15m tapered fishing leader running from 0.35mm to 0.58mm, providing a gradual increase in diameter towards the heavier end of the leader.

Suitable for surfcasting and fly fishing applications, the tapered construction provides a finer presentation at one end while increasing strength and shock absorption towards the thicker 0.58mm section.

For surfcasters, it's a convenient ready-made option when you want the benefits of a tapered shock leader without tying together different leader diameters.

Tapered 0.35-0.58mm Construction

Rather than maintaining the same diameter throughout its length, Tapertips gradually increases from 0.35mm to 0.58mm.

For surfcasting, the finer end can be connected to the main line, while the thicker section provides additional strength where it's needed during the cast and around the terminal tackle.

Ideal for Surfcasting

A tapered leader can be particularly useful when casting heavier surfcasting rigs.

The gradual increase in diameter avoids the abrupt transition created when tying a fine main line directly to a much heavier shock leader. This can help create a more streamlined connection through the rod guides.

The 15m length also provides plenty of leader for running through the guides and onto the reel before casting.
