I hand whittle mine from 9 ft long sections of solid nylon bar stock.

Happy New Year Ralph.

OBROFF: About the only thing I can add to this thread is that, after
some fishing, the wind (not my casting) and my frantic leader repairs
'look' like I hand tie my leaders. Heading out is the same regardless,
at least 1 or 2 spare tapered leaders and good fresh tippet material in
sizes from 6 or 7 down to 2 or 3X. Sometimes the knots will snag moss
that would otherwise gook the fly, which I guess is a benefit. Happy
New Year folks. TBone
