Default Umpqua 5x Leaders 5 lb or 4 lb?


"Tom Nakashima" wrote in message news:...
I purchased a 3-pack Umpqua 9' 5x Trout Taper Leaders over the weekend
which is marked 5 lb on the package. Wondering if this is a printing
mistake. Didn't realize it until I got home. The tip Dia is still .006"
and the butt dia is still .021", but the rating is now 5 lb. instead of 4
lb. I have one leader in a package from a previous purchase that says 5x
4 lb. The Umpqua website still says 5x 4 lb.

I called Umpqua and spoke with a rep today, there is a change, the Trout
Taper Leaders in 5x is now rated at 5 lb test.
fwiw,
