I know that in the JDM, they make fly fishing specific tapered leaders, and even some Tenkara lines as well, but this seemed to be an offering for regular bass fishing.
And after reading the description (twice) it actually made sense the fact that you can use this from either end. (Which would blow a fly fisherman's mind if you told him they could use their tapered leaders in either direction)
Description
Tepa is a 100% fluorocarbon leader that combines two lb tests into one leader with a proprietary tapered design. These leaders are uniquely manufactured to taper from a larger lb test to a smaller lb test from one end of the leader to the other end. This benefit allows an angler to use an upsized lb test on either end for applications where a larger or smaller leader is needed. For example, the larger size can be tied to a lure when an angler wants to have greater strength and abrasion resistance at his knot and the first part of the leader. The line then tapers down to a smaller size for joining to the mainline braid. Alternately, the larger end could also be tied to the mainline knot connection to provide greater strength and abrasion resistance at the knot while the leader tapers down to a smaller size at the lure knot for fish that are wary of line size. The tapered structure of this leader allows an angler to strengthen either the knot area or mainline connection of a leader without having to upsize the whole leader.
