Hand-Tied Signature Bright Butt Leader (9ft) – High-Visibility Bass Fly Fishing Leader
Stop missing subtle takes and struggling with poor turnover. The Murray’s Fly Shop Hand-Tied Signature Bright Butt Leader is our #1 best-selling fly fishing leader, engineered specifically to handle aggressive flies and detect the softest strikes. While trusted by pro guides on the Shenandoah River for smallmouth bass, this 9-foot tapered leader delivers unmatched performance for freshwater anglers everywhere.
Each leader is proudly hand-tied in the USA using a heavy Amnesia monofilament butt section for maximum visibility and flawless loop transfer, transitioning down to abrasion-resistant Umpqua tippet material for delicate presentations that hold up against underwater structures.
Pre-Rigged & Ready to Fish
Time on the water is precious. Every leader comes with a Murray's Fly Shop Indicator pre-installed, making it 100% ready to fish straight out of the package. The high-vis Amnesia butt section works in tandem with the indicator to help you effortlessly track your drift in complex currents and instantly spot strikes when nymphing or fishing subsurface streamers.
Whether you are pounding the riverbanks for smallmouth bass, indicator fishing, or casting large topwater bugs, this premium hand-tied leader offers the durability, tracking, and turnover you need to land more fish.
