The Tiemco Shimazaki Leader Splicer is a brilliant invention that makes the strongest, most discreet, smoothest and most directional leader connections.
A must for perfectionists who attach great importance to the fly presentation and the discretion of the line tip and leader landing.
Indispensable for fine sight fishing or dry fly fishing with very long tippets to limit friction when passing the line through the rings at the end of a fight.
My personal choice as a professional guide specializing in fly fishing for wild trout and grayling in rivers.
Shimazaki Leader Splicer is a great assisting tool for you to get the leader right through the center of the flyline tip with ease.
Simply place the flyline along the groove on the inside and push the needlepoint straight in the line tip.
The transparency of the tool allows you to see through how you are inserting the needle.
