Right Angle Nymph Leader

Category: Nymph/Wet Fly Leaders

A leader that's meant to deliberately form a "hinge" between the butt and section 2 where you typically attach an indicator.
Adjustments should be made by adding to section 2. For fast current 1.5 times the water depth is suitable. For slower water 1-1.25 times the depth is normally good.
