Fly fishing tackle#Fly lines

With leader is called when fishing the cord from the hook to the main line. Its strength is usually around 0.05 to 0.1 mm less than that of the main line.

The idea behind the use of a tippet is, on the one hand not to have to make the entire fishing line with a new crack or bite through the cord, but only mount a new leader in the snap hook of the vortex. On the other hand, as the cord is designed directly at the bait for the fish inconspicuous. For example. Carp are very suspicious. This is counteracted with a very inconspicuous rig, which placed due to the bait for the fish can not seem to belong to the actual main line. This also always thinner version of the leader compared to the main line is explained. Wire Leaders for the robbery fishing are however only meant to avoid by bite. Although predators are less suspicious and with appropriate stimulation to entice more likely to bite, nevertheless Wire Leaders can also be camouflaged by threading into a blade of grass. Since steel leaders are relatively sensitive to breakage and current plastic cords tolerate heavy loads with small diameter steel leaders have not as important as more a few years ago.

There are different strengths of Rigs:

• Monofilvorfach (normal fishing line )
• Multifilvorfach ( braided fishing line )
• Wire Leader ( for predators to protect against by bite, especially when fishing for pike )
• Schockvorfach ( for sea fishing )
