Tiemco Shimazaki Leader Grease Fly Line & Leader Dressing
Tiemco Shimazaki Leader Grease is a specialized dressing for fly fishing leaders and fly lines, developed for dry fly fishing where maximum flotation and precise presentation are essential.
The formula was created by renowned Japanese fly angler and fly designer Yutaka Shimazaki and is designed for treating the surface of leaders, tippets, and sections of fly lines that need to remain on the water surface.
The product creates a thin water-repellent layer that helps keep the leader floating and improves control during delicate dry fly presentations.
Tiemco Shimazaki Leader Grease is especially effective when fishing for wary fish in slow currents, where natural leader behaviour and accurate fly presentation are critical.

TIP FROM FlyFishing.bgWhen dry fly fishing, the leader is often the final invisible connection between the angler and the fish. A properly treated leader improves presentation and allows a more natural drift of the fly. |
