Mason Hard Type Nylon Leader Material | 14lb–25lb Abrasion-Resistant Fishing Leader
Maximum Strength & Control for Demanding Fishing Conditions

Available in 14lb, 16lb, 20lb, and 25lb test, this premium leader material is engineered to perform when fishing heavy flies or windy conditions where softer leaders fail.
