DJ, your reference to the emotional aspect of tying leaders brings on a interesting piont. Tying leaders to me is one of those things that are part of my ritual or might I say religious beliefs (pun intended). Feeling any good knot cynch up tight with minimum line fatique
gives you, I and I'm sure many others out there the confidence in that should the tie fail it would most likely fail due to unforeseen site circumstances.
To me it's one more of those obsessive things that I torment myself with and would like to thank you DJ for easing my mind in knowing that I'm not alone here.
I was quite flattered a few years back in my partner Chummsnaggers approval of my rigs, in fact
he liked them so much he tried to coaxe me into being his leader whore. It's all good thought we worked out a noncommital arrangement based on availability or stock on hand. I tie solid drift gear and he loads me up with jigs that in my mind posses craftsmanship and quality characteristics that I feel gives me that leading edge.

At DJ's expectation speed I'm thinking that together we could build a leader manufacturing empire. On that note I would now like to solicit product needed to craft our new line of Edge Gear
leader products.

FJ...out.
