27.1. A single monofilament or poly leader, tippet included, may be used, with a maximum length of twice the length of the rod used.

27.2. Leaders may be knotted or knotless, and continuously tapered down or level. A single loop of max. 10 cm length may only be used to connect a leader to a fly line. If the leader is knotted, the minimum distance between the knots is 30 cm, hanging freely.

27.3. Neither sinking nor floating devices may be added to the leader.

27.4. A maximum of 3 Micro Rings / Tippet Rings of a maximum outer diameter of 3mm can be used. A maximum of 3 knots can be joined at a micro ring, they are considered as one knot.

27.5. A dropper is an equal or smaller diameter monofilament side line to the leader used solely to attach a second or third fly other than the point fly. Only droppers may be used to attach flies whenever more than 1 fly is used by the competitor during that competition. Droppers without fly attached are not allowed. Should a fish break off one of the flies (snagging or double take) during playing the fish this should be seen as “within the rules” and the catch should be registered if eligible.

28.1. A single monofilament or poly leader, tippet included, may be used, with a maximum total length of twice the length of the rod used.

28.2. Leaders may be knotted or knotless, and continuously tapered down or level. A single loop of max. 10 cm length may only be used to connect a leader to a fly line. If the leader is knotted, the minimum distance between the knots is 30 cm, hanging freely.
