LmF XP SENSE MAC2 Tapered Leaders
Developed by Massimo Magliocco after extensive design work and testing, the LmF XP SENSE MAC2 tapered leaders are the result of a careful search for the perfect balance between power section, taper and tippet. Unlike traditional knotted leaders, their progressive tapered profile ensures a smoother transfer of energy during the cast, providing accuracy, control and delicate fly presentation.
The MAC2 leaders feature a carefully balanced distribution across three sections:
- Power section: 36% of the total length, with an initial diameter of 0.50 mm.
- Taper: 36% of the total length.
- Tippet: 28% of the total length.
Thanks to their exceptionally balanced profile and high-quality materials, developed using Japanese technology, MAC2 leaders deliver outstanding linearity and reliable performance in all types of water.
Recommendations for optimal use
To get the best performance from your leader, we recommend following these steps:
- Stretch the leader along its entire length to remove any coils, except for the final metre, as heat could damage this section.
- Trim approximately 30 cm from the tippet.
- Tie a micro loop using a Perfect Loop knot.
- Add approximately one metre of tippet: 0.12 mm for fishing in still water or 0.15 mm for fishing in fast-flowing water.
