I think that learning to make custom leaders is an important knowledge
to have. Understanding how to repair a tapered leader is also
important. If the leader breaks off to high up on the leader it is nice
to be able to quickly repair it. I used to tie my custom leaders using
a blood knot. Now I use a double nail knot thanks to The Winder ( it
is a knot tying tool), other guys just use the surgeons knot to repair
or build leaders. I wrote a free ebook that is on my site for anyone
to download it has a basic custom leader chart in it, and illistrations
on how to tie the basic knots used in flyfishing www.willowreed.com

What the hell is a "snail hook"? I click on the link and nothing
happens. What the hell is a "cinch knot"? I click on the link and
nothing happens.

tolkien was right.....trolls are stupid.

Yep, just like you to try and ruin it for the rest of us! We all know,
exactly, what a snail hook is. It's a hook upon which to affix snails, you
twit! Everyone knows that you can't catch flyz without snails. or are you
just trying to be humorous? And a "cinch" knot, well obviously, it's a knot
tied in a manner other than difficultly!

Why do you persist in trying to teardown would-be entrapmenteurs! Can you,
for just once in your life, come down from your yellow perch and act like a
reel man?

Op --and for havens sack, learn how to spell *token* and stop paraphrasing
them!
