The Airflo Polyleader Salmon/Steelhead series is designed to give Spey and single-hand anglers precise control over depth and presentation when swinging flies for anadromous fish. These polyleaders bridge the gap between your fly line and leader, delivering smooth energy transfer for better turnover with larger flies, sink tips, and heavier leader setups commonly used for salmon and steelhead.
Available in four different lengths (5’, 8’, 10’, and 14’) and seven sink rates, Airflo Polyleaders let you fine-tune your swing to match water depth, current speed, and run type—from skating flies on the surface to getting down into deep, fast winter water. Built with Airflo’s durable polyurethane coating, these polyleaders resist cracking and memory, performing reliably in cold, wet conditions throughout the season. Easy loop-to-loop connections make changing densities fast on the water, so you can stay dialed as conditions change.
