VARIVAS® is a Line, Leader and Tippet Specialist invest their resources to improve the quality of their materials. Their unique manufacturing process increases the relative line density making softer and more abrasion resistant materials that offer higher breaking strength per line diameter. VARIVAS® Super Tippet materials are high performance, extremely strong and very flexible due to the VA-G "Non-Stress Coating." They are abrasion-resistant, water-resistant and have a low memory. VARIVAS® makes a perfect line match between Leaders and Tippet; this has been achieved through the co-development of materials and offers the fly-fisher an ideal solution to most fishing situations.

VARIVAS® Tapered Leaders are the ultimate in knotless leaders for the discerning fly-fisher. They provide the ideal solution to specialist fly fishing situations. Some manufacturers produce tapered leaders as 15 foot stock then chop them into 7.5 foot, 9 foot or 12 foot lengths. VARIVAS® however, takes a different approach by designing each different leader for its own specific application … giving the fly-fisher the optimal taper profile to best suit the situation, produced with its taper ratios always in proportion to leader length. ALL VARIVAS® TAPERED LEADERS are "Resin Coated" and "Non-Stress Coated" to insure low memory, abrasion and water resistance, and prolonged life for both fresh and salt water applications:
Standard: Camouflaged with a green butt section and a clear tip to aid stealth. Available in 7.5, 9 and 12 foot lengths in 0x to 7x. With a 40% butt and a gradual taper over 40% and 20% point. Ideal all rounder for stealth and river use. Priced at £2.50 per pack
