Whatever happened to the idea of spitting on it and pulling it through

The inner tube oftentimes produces too much heat which weakens
the leader. Lose four or five good fish to a weak spot in your
leader and you'll throw away the inner tube for good.


Thank you.

I wasn't aware of that problem.

cheers, and some Coal Ila
