For years folks have been trying to make a
connection device to fasten a fly line to a
leader. None have been very satisfactory. Now
Scientific Anglers has come to our aid
with a easy to use, convenient to carry and
durable connector for the job. I have tried
them and they work.
I can see many uses for the L2L Connector. Let's
take a look at some applications. Beginners can
now buy a leader and actually get it onto the end
of the fly line. That is progress. If he messes it
up he can put on a new one without leaving the
stream or lake. That is real progress.
For any with ageing eyesight these will guarantee
a good solid joining between line and leader. How
about a guide who provides the gear? Simple, fast
(about 30 seconds), and strong.
Several other features have been incorporated too.
The things float. Really. No more will your nail-knot or
loop-to-loop collect grass and pond scum and sink
the end of your line. The color will give you a
great way to follow the end of your line without
adding a strike indicator too.
Less drag in the water and in the air and goes
through the guides much smoother than any knot
ever did. Longer smoother casts, easy pick-up
from the water.
The NEW Scientific Anglers leaders come with one
end already attached. All you do is put the other
end on your fly line, (3x through 6x on 9 foot leaders)
with the connector kit that comes with five
ready-to-use units.
Priced at $3.75 for the leader with connector, and
$3.95 for the connector kit. ~ JC
