When a bonefish tails into range at forty feet, the leader is the only part of your rig the fish actually sees. The Frog Hair Deep Blue Bonefish / Permit leader is built for exactly that moment — a 10-foot knotless taper with a heavy .025"-.027" butt section that turns over weighted crab and shrimp patterns in a trade wind, stepping down to a supple, low-visibility tippet that lands soft on hard-fished flats.
Frog Hair builds these on their copolymer platform, so you get real abrasion resistance against coral, mangrove roots, and a permit's sandpaper jaw, plus built-in shock resistance for the moment a fish turns and runs. Each leader comes with a perfection loop tied in at the butt, so it loops to your fly line and you're fishing.
Sizes run 6 lb through 20 lb: light for calm-morning bonefish and skinny water, heavy for permit, big schoolie bones over coral, and baby tarpon. Sold individually.
