Sinking Polyleader 10 ft
$14.29 CAD
Get your fly down in the water column — without changing reels.
The Axon Polyleader turns your floating line into a sinking tip in seconds. A monofilament core sheathed in a tapered fly line material, with a loop at each end — it connects directly to the welded loop of your floating WF fly line. The result: your fly gets down to where the fish are holding in the water column, without changing spools. Available in Sinking and Fast Sinking. 10 feet, 24lbs.
Highlight
The equivalent of a sinking tip line — in your fishing vest.
- Loop-to-loop connection: Attaches and detaches in seconds to your line's welded loop. Quick change between floating and sinking without knots or tools.
- Tapered sheathed construction: Optimal energy transfer from the cast to the fly, even with bulky streamers. Clean turnover at the end of the cast.
- 24lbs: Strength designed for powerful fights — large trout, aggressive bass, landlocked salmon in fast water.
- Sinking (~3-4 ips): For medium-depth pools and moderate currents. Ideal for keeping a streamer in the active zone without touching the bottom.
- Fast Sinking (~6 ips): For deep pools and strong spring currents. Sinks quickly even in strong current.
- Economical alternative: Avoids buying a complete sinking tip line — a single polyleader is enough to cover all depths with your existing floating line.

Usage Tips
Setup:
-
Connection: Polyleader loop → welded loop of your fly line (loop-to-loop).
-
Density choice: Low water, low current → Sinking. High water, strong current, fish on the bottom → Fast Sinking.
Species and techniques:
-
Trout in deep pools: The polyleader keeps the streamer in the active zone without getting snagged on the bottom. Effective in large rivers at the end of the season.
-
Largemouth Bass: The Fast Sinking takes a popper or slider below the surface to present to fish holding deep.
-
Landlocked Salmon in rivers: Particularly useful in strong current conditions to keep the fly in the fishing zone. Always check the specific regulations for the river you are fishing.
-
Increase fly weight: By combining the Fast Sinking polyleader with a weighted fly (tungsten bead), you can reach significant depths without using a full sinking line.
Regulations:
-
In Quebec, several Atlantic salmon rivers prohibit the use of sinking gear. Check Quebec's fishing regulations as well as each river's specific rules before use.
