Tuf-Line & Leader Material
Tuf-Line Super-Braid & Backing Line
We are delighted to have been chosen to represent Western Filament as their distributor. Founded over 70 years ago, Western Filament are one of the few ISO 9001:2000 accredited manufacturers of braided lines… and with customers including NASA, Boeing and Rolls Royce, they need to be! Bringing this level of quality control into the manufacture of fishing braid, ensures every spool is totally consistent and fault-free and the end result is recognised by big game fishermen around the world as the best quality Super-Braid on the market.
Tuf-Line XP
Aerospace technology has been utilised to produce TUF-Line XP fishing line. Braided under higher tension using ‘Tension Lock Technology’, to create more compaction of the fibres during the finishing process and a rounder profile than competitive lines.
More compact
Smaller in diameter. Packs better on reels
Offers better knot performance
Casts further
Reduces rod tip wraps… and boasts higher abrasion resistance
TUF-Line XP’s state-of-the-art coating remains permanently bonded to the fibers, offering an incredibly long service life with zero shedding.

Now available in 4 colour options:
Moss Green – The choice for stealth angling, preferred by carp and freshwater anglers.
Hi-Viz Yellow – The traditional favourite for many applications, particularly spinning.
Red – The best colour for deep blue water fishing, where red is the first colour of the spectrum to disappear with depth.
Indicator – A multi-colour braid in Red/Yellow/Grey with a colour change every 10ft designed for vertical jigging where a depth indicator is so important.
DuraCast Wins! Best New Braided Line, EFFTEX 2009
TUF-Line DuraCast is the braid solution for spinning reels. Its revolutionary patent-pending construction process eliminates tip wraps, wind knots, rod guide noise and common bail trip issues associated with standard super-lines, yet delivers the strength and sensitivity advantages anglers have come to rely on. So outstanding is DuraCast's performance that the line won the Best New Braided Line award at the prestigious European Fishing Tackle Trade Association show in June 2009. DuraCast's award is only the second time in history a U.S. manufacturer has been the recipient of the honour and highlights what an outstanding technological breakthrough DuraCast represents.
A monofilament nylon core is covered with a Spectra® fibre braid. This is then heat treated, melting the monofilament allowing it to fuse through the braid, which when set, provides smooth outer coating, encapsulating the braid. All the advantages of monofilament, but with zero-stretch! TUF-Line® DuraCast's Tri-Axial, bi-component construction ensures long wearing durability, permanent coloration, and unparalleled abrasion resistance. In accelerated fibre to metal, abrasion tests. DuraCast offered more than double the abrasion resistance of its nearest competitor and more than 12X the abrasion resistance of some leading US braid brands.
While DuraCast offers a quantum leap forward with regard to braid performance on spinning reels, it also performs flawlessly on casting reels, offering a complete braided line solution for Carp, Pike and inshore saltwater species.
Less resistance = more distance

Tuf-Leader
New, armoured Tuf-Leader is manufactured from a continuous Spectra® fibre core with a fine braided stainless steel outer sheath. Tuf-Leader is softer, thinner and stronger than conventional wire leaders with no memory, which gives a more natural action to the fly or lure. This added flexibility means Tuf-Leader can be knotted, doing away with bulky crimps and if the leader is kinked, it can be easily straightened by pulling through the fingers, as you would a mono leader. The ultimate “bites” for any type of predator fishing whether for Saltwater Bluefish or Pike.
Available in 5kg, 8kg, 12kg, 25kg and 45kg breaking strains on 5m spools.
Leader System
Magic Line²
A new generation "double strength” line, which exhibits characteristics normally associated with conventional strength monofilaments.
Ultra Low Diameter & High Break Strength
Super supple, low memory and excellent resistance to kinking and abrasion
High knot strength, with conventional knots such as blood knots
Good elasticity and recovery
UV & temperature stabilised high-tech formula
Water repellent resin coating helps maintain line strength and transparency, whilst resisting abrasion
….the properties of a “double strength” line,
with the behaviour of a modern monofilament.
Snowbee Fluoro-tec
A top quality Fluorocarbon line, which can compete with double strength monofilaments in terms of breaking strain/diameter ratios.
Numerous trials aboard our own Snowbee “Deep Blue3” have proved conclusively that using a Fluorocarbon leader, even in 75m of water, improves your catch rate dramatically!
Low stretch, high sensitivity
High specific gravity allows it to cut quickly through the surface film
Sinks at a controlled rate
Invisible in water
High knot strength, low diameter
Good abrasion resistance
…One of the best Fluorocarbons on the market, with outstanding diameter to strength ratios.
Fluorocarbon Leaders
We all know the advantages of Fluorocarbon as a tippet material. Our new range of tapered Fluorocarbon leaders combine the benefits of fluorocarbon, with the convenience of a tapered leader. The 9ft leaders are ideal for river or Stillwater nymph fishing, particularly in crystal clear waters.
Monofilament Leaders
A range of top quality tapered Monofilament Leaders, using a super strength, low diameter Copolymer Nylon material. The 9ft leaders have a long taper and short tippet for easy turn over in general use, whilst the 12ft, Specialist Dry-Fly Leaders have a steeper taper and 51/2ft tippet, for delicate presentation.
Heavy Butt Salmon & Saltwater Leaders
These specialist monofilament leaders have a heavier butt section to minimise hinge point, when turning over large flies. Available in 10ft & 15ft lengths
Poly-Coated Leaders (PCL’s)
The smooth tapered Polymer coating over a supple monofilament core make the Poly-Coated Leaders an extension of your fly line. This superb range of leaders has a neat welded loop at the butt end with a monofilament tip, which can be tied directly into your tippet. The Thermo-plastic coating gives a silky smooth surface finish and a superb, controlled turnover and presentation. Available in 5ft Trout (12lb B.S), or 10ft Salmon/Saltwater (24lb B.S.).
Salmon Poly-Coated Leaders
A superb range of salmon leaders, constructed in the same way as the Trout PCL’s. Gives a superb, controlled turnover and delicate presentation of small to medium sized salmon flies - For larger flies simply trim to the desired length (starting at the tip). Available in a range of densities to suit a wide range of fishing situations and are the perfect addition to our 3-D Spey line system, Scandinavian-Spey Lines and Shooting Heads.
Braided Leaders
A superb range of Braided Leaders, providing excellent turnover and delicate presentation. Finished with a neat loop at both ends. B.S. 18-20 lbs.
Loop Connectors
The simple way to attach leaders to fly-lines. Pack contains 3 finished loops, with silicone tubing, ready to attach direct to your fly-line. Our new design features un-glued splices, which makes them softer & more pliable, avoiding those stiff glued sections, which cause hinge-points. Also new is a lightweight model for lighter line weights.
