The STROFT ® GTM - Fly Fishing Leader System
Knotless, degressively
tapered fl y-fi shing leaders
with
best possible turn-over
properties,
practically imperceptible to fi sh
with
the greatest knot strength
with
the highest breaking strain

the optimum shock absorption
The leaders are spooled onto large diameter spools!
Absolutely smooth!
4 different lengths (7,5 ft - 9 ft - 12 ft - 15 ft) and in 11 different diameters (7X - 6X - 5X - 4X - 3X - 2X - 1X - 0X - 01X - 02X - 03X)
That is a total of 44 different leaders - the perfect leader for every possible situation:
Whether fi shing minute dry fl ies or even the largest salt water fl ies for the heaviest fi sh!
Additionally, the STROFT GTM - Fly Fishing Leader System offers an ideal combination of advantages:
- The best material (STROFT GTM) with the highest tensile and knot strength, with its low refl ection is practically
imperceptible to fi sh, has high abrasion resistance, elasticity and suppleness.
- Perfectly tuned structural design, in combination with the degressive taper results in highly effi cient
energy transfer and perfect fl y presentation.
- The shock-absorbing properties of the butt in combination with the taper aids playing and landing fi sh safely.
The table shows the metric and
Anglo American dimensions as
well as the prices of the leaders.
The leader table on the back
shows the line diameter at intervals
of 20 cm for all leaders.
The table on the inside at the left
shows exemplarily 13 possibilities
all resulting in a 0,14 mm tippet
(5X) at a length of 260 cm.
The table on the inside at the right

The STROFT ® GTM - Fly Fishing Leader System
Which is the ideal leader?
The ideal leader should turn-over well and
should be virtually imperceptible to fish.
Unfortunately, these two requirements
partly cancel each other out.
Remember: the turn-over of a leader
improves the more:
- the shorter the overall length.
- the longer or thicker the butt.
- the shorter or thicker the tip.
Additionally the “external conditions” are
worth noting:
- Your own casting skills.
- The wind conditions
- The weather (sunny clear - cloudy)
- The water conditions (clear - murky)
(raging river - calm sea)
- The wariness of the quarry.
That is why the STROFT GTM - Fly Fishing
Leader System provides not only one
leader for each desired application, but a
whole selection. Thus one can precisely
determine the ideal leader using the table
on the inside at the left showing exemplarily
13 options, each resulting in a 0.14 mm
dry fly leader (5X) which is 260 cm long.
On the inside at the right you will find the
same suggestions for a sea trout leader
with a 0.25 mm tip (1X) and a length of
320 cm. Over 1000 additional possibilities
for every diameter and length can be found
on www.stroft.de -> Fly Fishing Leaders
or directly at www.fliegenvorfach.de.
The STROFT rig ring
You can tie flies directly on to the respective
leader. (This was and is the idea behind
using a tapered leader). Nevertheless, we
recommend using STROFT rig ring as
they have several advantages:
- STROFT GTM line has a slightly higher
tensile strength than the tip of the STROFT
GTM leader (due to the shock-absorbing
elasticity processing of the whole leader).
- Knots tied on a rig ring are significantly
stronger than a direct connection with a
dual uni knot or a blood knot.
- Various tips (GTM, ABR, FC1) with different
thicknesses and lengths can be
replaced quickly and easily in order to minimize
scaring fish.
- The leader is not being continuously
shortened and as a result doesn’t need
replacing as often.
- Therefore using a rig ring is cheaper in
the long term.
