Went thru wall today to stock up on groceries for next week's fishing trip
with my and grandson--walked thru fishing aisle and found Scientific Anglers
7&1/2 ft leaders priced at one dollar each!
Do leaders age out of use ? They were not overstocked and the girl who
stocks that aisle just said someone told her to mark them down----would sure
hate to loose a great big brown just because i saved $2 on a leader.

I'd buy a dozen, at least. Cut them back to the thicker part and use new
tippet.



I bought some leaders that were marked down to fifty cents at a discount
store a few years ago. When I tried to use them, I found I couldn't tie
a knot in them -- the mono was so fragile that it would break when I
tried to pull the knot tight.

On the plus side, if you want to call it that, at least I discovered
that and tossed them before I actually tried fishing with them.
