From surf fishing to flats fishing or targeting Bass this is the perfect leader. The mirage series is far stronger than regular mono and invisible under the water so it's perfect for streamer fishing. The added strength provided by this leader is going to prevent break offs and help land those smarter, larger fish! It's definitely worth... Read more

Joseph Smith owns this product
Fly fishing anglers chasing larger fish should consider using the Orvis Mirage Big Game leader. Made from fluorocarbon, these leaders have a low visibility in the water. The retained knot strength ensures knots do not slip. The taper is designed to help turn over large, bushy flies.
Ideal for
  • This is an abrasion resistant leader.
  • This is a quick sinking leader to help get flies deep.
  • This leader has good knot retention strength.
Not ideal for
  • This leader will sink quicker than nylon.

Good Leaders

These leaders were stiff enough not to tangle, and withstood abrasion from river bottom rocks.

Another great product

Originally posted at www.orvis.com on Sep 14, 2022
Good leaders, get the job done. I bought these for saltwater fishing. They have just enough sink to get the fly down below my floating line. Wish I could say that I have caught tons of fish on these, but since I am new to saltwater ff, that part is still forthcoming.

Top notch expert!

I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

I bought an open box Orvis fishing rod and it was at a great price. The condition of the rod and the shipping time exceeded my expectations. The information I received from Capt. Mark was accurate and helpful. I would definitely buy from Curated again.

Helped me with some valuable fly fishing knowledge that I lack coming from the conventional fishing world. Hooked me up with a good starter rod and even price matched it with another company. Will be coming back for a reel soon.
