Tying my own leaders

I bought several different weights of leader material to experiment with tying my own leaders and because this was readily available. This material feels very sturdy, but does retain a lot of memory. It took a lot of stretching to get the leader reasonably straight. Initially, I had a hard time getting my knots to seat properly, but that was probably more my error than anything. I am happy with my purchase and look forward to trying out my new leaders.

Broke Below Test

The 8lb test broke around 4lbs, while the 6lb I bought broke right at 6lbs. Disappointing, I am glad I tested it prior to fishing it for a record.
