Description
I prefer monofilament leaders for poppers and foam top water flies and Orvis Super Strong Plus is the mono I use. Monofilament does not sink quickly. A sunken leader can pull your top water fly under, when you pull it off the water, to make another cast. In some cases, a popper or top water fly could become snagged on a limb or a rock on the bottom of the stream. Pulling a topwater fly under water, can also spook smallmouth bass that are nearby.
I fish with top water flies as often as they work. That is the type of fishing I enjoy most.
I have used Orvis tapered monofilament leaders for over 35 years. I have not tried another brand.
This is a 12.7 pound test leader. I would use it when fishing in heavy structure. This heavy tippet has the strength to fight the bass quickly, to keep it from tangling in the limbs in that structure. I use lighter tippet, usually 8 pound test, normally.
