To that end, I searched out the gnarliest old Rio leader I could find,

It straightened out just fine, tippet and all. It didn't seem to be
weakened in any obvious way, although I didn't actually test the
breaking point. ...


I didn't hear anyone argue that immersion in hot water wouldn't
straighten a leader. All of roff agrees, you can straighten a
nylon monofilament leader by immersing it in hot water.

It's a bad idea and bad advice and I wouldn't trust the leader
itself or the knots made with it, but it'll be straight, no doubt.

It appears to be a perfectly fine leader, just like one straightened by
hand, only straighter.

This "bad advice" crap is hilarious. It's clear that all you and
LaCourse are interested in is discrediting Connor by any means possible,
fair or foul. You're acting like petulant children.
