Leaders and tippet pictured are a representation of a custom assortment.
When destination angling, we eliminate any factor within our control that might prevent success, meaning rust-free hooks, slick fly lines, and brand-new leaders/tippet.
Leaders and tippet are among the most important but frequently overlooked pieces of gear for traveling anglers (and one of the most significant causes of lost fish). You may not need a new big ticket item such as a fly rod or waders, but you likely DO need new leaders and tippet; that spool sitting in your garage from your last trip might work, but it also might not. The shelf-life of leader material varies, but one to two years is the maximum. Exposure to heat, UV rays, sunscreen, bug spray, and natural elements causes them to break down in quality. While fluorocarbon does last longer than nylon, it also becomes cloudy with time, making it far less efficient.
For this reason, we have put together destination-specific leader/tippet packages to ensure you are prepared for a week of fishing based on our collective personal experience and input from the guides on the ground. We suggest anglers traveling for a week of fishing abroad utilize this kit designed specifically for the destination, the prepared angler, and in the spirit of bringing more fish to hand.

All that uou need! Yellow Dog folks are fantastic!
Overall experience was great, Used extensively in Ascension Bay Mexico for Bones and Tarpon. My best fight was actually with a large Snook. Guide was impressed with what I brought and it made my guess work simple. Just returned from a second salt water trip to Belize and the Placencia area with the same result. Guides were very pleased with my selection of materials and we had lots of luck with Bones and a few shots at Permit which were less than successful. Glad I made this purchase. I hate to travel to distant locations and not have the correct materials to make my fly fishing successful. I actually also purchased a recommended set of flies from Yellowdog to augment my previous flies. They were a huge hit in Belize and I actually left all of my permit flies with my guide as a thank you for great work.
