Abstract
Provided in the present invention are a leader for fly fishing comprising a monofilament of a vinylidene fluoride resin, said leader consisting of a butt section, a taper section and a tippet section, a diametral unevenness of the tippet section being less than 10%, and a process for producing such a leader for fly fishing. The leader for fly fishing according to the present invention has pliability to allow unrestricted movement of the fly and enough strength to withstand the impact of striking, and is also small in diametral unevenness and capable of having its curling disposition or kink easily straightened out.
