Punching a massive, water-heavy streamer or an articulated Galloup's Boogieman directly into a screaming 35 mph gale along the Grey Reef and Miracle Mile stretches of the North Platte River right here in Casper requires a heavy butt section that will refuse to fold. Flimsy, standard trout leaders will collapse mid-air, throwing tailing loops and bird's nests. Local guides rely on Maxima Clear Wheels to hand-build dedicated, wind-cutting streamer leaders. To construct an unstoppable, budget-saving local guide rig, splice a 3-foot section of 30lb Maxima Clear down to a 2-foot section of 20lb, and terminate it with a high-strength tippet ring or an Angler's Image Tippet Swivel. This stiff, high-density monofilament foundation transfers casting energy flawlessly from your heavy fly line directly to your fly, driving positive turnover through our brutal winds and anchoring clean presentations right against muddy cut-banks.
