Daiwa Tournament Tapered Leader

Daiwa Tournament Tapered Carp Leader

Daiwa’s Tapered Shock Leader is available in orange and is designed as part of the brand’s impressive Tournament collection. Tapered leaders offer a significant advantage over traditional leaders when it comes to knot strength. The taper on this Tournament leader brings the line diameter down from 0.8mm (offering an impressive 65lb breaking strain) to 0.37mm (or 16lb in terms of breaking strain). This enables you to achieve a much smaller, and tighter, knot – which is significantly less likely to catch weed on the retrieve or snag on rod rings during the cast.

In a vibrant orange colour this Tapered Shock Leader means this is a highly visible line. This makes it best suited to night fishing or angling in low light conditions. This Shock Leader is 13m long, with the initial 9m at the 0.8mm diameter, tapering down over the final 4m to 0.37mm. This is Daiwa’s size 2 Shock Leader and is also available in size 1 – which is a clear monofilament. In both styles the Daiwa Tapered Shock Leader is constructed from an extra strong monofilament, ensuring it performs in exactly the way you want it to on the bank. With a high impact shock resistance this leader allows you to achieve those power casts with confidence.

Daiwa has been producing outstanding tackle solutions for the past 60 years and this Tapered Shock Leader forms just a small part of their impressive range of terminal tackle. Originally a reel manufacturer, Daiwa now offers a prolific range of tackle options for anglers across the disciplines. The company has a global angling empire, too, and you can buy Daiwa products across five of the seven continents. Made in Japan, to exacting Japanese standards, these Tournament Tapered Shock Leaders are supplied with five leaders per spool and are ideal for anglers across the sea fishing discipline.
