CJ Bova Rods Best product 2025 | Cutthroat Leaders
Every year, I do an entry announcing my personal favorite product. For 2025, I'm selecting Cutthroat Leaders from Boise, Idaho, as my #1 pick.
I had the pleasure of testing these furled leaders all summer long. I have personally used them on a multitude of river conditions and attached them to three popular brands of silk lines. As both a dry and wet fly enthusiast, these leaders are crafted to the utmost quality. These boys know their stuff, and their hand skills are second to none.
Some significant advantages for these leaders are that they offer high-vis nymph and dry fly leaders. They offer a shorty dry fly leader at 50", which is a killer leader for my midge rods and shorter spring creek rods. These things float like corks all day long! Apply Otter Butter judiciously, and your leader is good to go all day.
I cannot say enough good things about these products except thank you for raising the bar on my fly fishing experience, kudos, my friends in Idaho.
