Reply To: Straightening leaders.

Hi, Bob, You can usually straighten a leader by pulling the line thru your fingers and building a little heat from the friction and that will help straighten your leader. They make leader straighteners that have a rubber pad and a leather pad to pull the leader thru. I use one of those, it gives me a better grip on the line. Be careful pulling the leader thru those. Some think the rubber burns the line and weakens it.  If your leaders haven’t been properly stored you may just want to get new ones.
