At Los Cazadores, leaders and tippets are more than accessories—they’re critical components of your fly fishing system.
Whether you're chasing wild trout in clear creeks or casting to redfish on the flats, we carry the right material to help you fool fish and land them with confidence.
From tapered leaders that turn over delicately to abrasion-resistant tippet spools that hold up under pressure, our selection is designed to cover every fly fishing scenario.
Choose from fluorocarbon and nylon options by top brands like RIO, Scientific Anglers, Orvis, and Cortland.
Tapered Leaders for Turnover and Control
Pre-tapered leaders provide smooth energy transfer from fly line to fly, allowing for cleaner, more accurate presentations.
Available in multiple lengths and sizes to match your target species, fly size, and water conditions.
Tippet Material for Rigging & Versatility
Use tippet to extend the life of your leader, build custom rigs, or fine-tune your presentation.
Fluorocarbon tippets are great for stealth and abrasion resistance; nylon offers superior flexibility and knot strength.
Match the X-Rating to Your Fly
The smaller the X-rating, the thicker and stronger the line—use 0X–3X for streamers and big dries, and 4X–7X for small nymphs, midges, and pressured trout.
Built for Texas Waters & Beyond
Whether you're stalking bass in Hill Country rivers or traveling out west for trout, our team can help you match the right leader and tippet combo to your gear and goals.
Should I use fluorocarbon or nylon tippet?
Fluorocarbon is nearly invisible underwater and more abrasion-resistant, making it ideal for nymphs and subsurface flies. Nylon tippet is more flexible and better for dry flies and floating presentations.
