RIO Fluoroflex Permit Leader is designed specifically for technical permit fishing on clear flats, where spooky fish and strong winds demand the very best leader performance. Built from 100% fluorocarbon, it offers excellent abrasion resistance against coral, sand and structure, as well as low visibility in the water, helping you fool wary cruising or tailing permit. Fluorocarbon also sinks faster than standard nylon, giving you a clear advantage when presenting crab and shrimp patterns over deeper flats or when you want the fly to get down quickly. The long, medium‑stiff butt section is carefully tuned to turn over typical permit flies with authority, keeping your loops tight and delivering accurate presentations even when the wind picks up. A hand‑tied perfection loop in the butt section makes it quick and easy to connect to your fly line loop, so you can change leaders on the skiff in seconds and stay in the game when the shot appears.
