Varivas Flat Butt Leader – Japan

$9.50 $7.20

First  — Some Important Explanation

“Yamame “  a species of Trout found in Japan. Yamame fishing is typically done in deep valleys with low natural light.  See picture of Yamame trout in gallery

” Flat Butt “  –  a deliberate design feature from Varivas –  assists in providing a delicate presentation and a gentle fly turn-over . Flash colour is to assist in seeing the leader in low light

” Blind “ – This needs some detailed explanation and upon research from a good friend in Tasmania the following helps to clarify the meaning of  “BLIND ” and a translation of the leader information on the packaging.  My sincere thanks to GH for his detailed research

” The NEW Super Yamame Flat Butt Blind Leader is specialized for precise casting for aiming at a target site.  VARIVAS’s unique flat butt design performs a powerful and straight-forward turn, and even large terrestrial flies can be presented accurately. In addition, it is trouble-free for the angler because it straightens easily and doesn’t keep a coil memory.  The butt and taper parts are flash yellow with high visibility for the angler. The tippet has natural camouflage. ”

Further clarification was sort from Varivas Japan

” the flash yellow on the butt and taper parts makes easy visibility where the tippet is located and heading.  The natural colour at the end of tippet gives a camouflaging effect.”

” Flat butt blind was tested  by Keiichiro Iwai, a quite popular angler, and he named this as a blind leader some 20 years ago or so. A flat butt makes an easy and perfect turn toward to the fly at the end of tippet.  This makes for an easy casting to place your fly at your aiming spot. Material and shape  of flat butt promise an easy and directing casting heading to your desired point. AND, Iwai finally named this as blind fishing. “

Available in 4x, 5x and 6x, The leaders are particularly effective in windy conditions as 55% of the leader weight is in the butt section tapering to 28% and 17%.
