Mono leaders are the way to go for those new to the sport of fly fishing because they are so budget friendly. The Orvis leaders come in two packs which offer a great value compared to other companies that sell them as single leaders. The loop to loop connection that is pre tied on these make them very easy to use and if you are new to the sport there is even a diagram on the back of the packet and inside. These leaders are very strong and stay high and dry and won't get wet and drag a dry fly down like fluorocarbon does. They are not as abrasion resistant as fluorocarbon so they aren't the best choice for streamer fishing.
