Default Uni-Leaders

The above link (from the list that Mike posted in the "Dead
Drift"thread) refers to Gary Borger's Uni-Leader designs. Has anyone
ever tied some up and tried them?


Yes. Personally, I prefer hand tied leaders when fishing clear water.
That Uni-Body design is especially good when a delicate presentation
isn't necessary. I still think any leaders with knots is a royal PITA
when fishing weeded areas. I have one of the few remaining Ernie
Harrison's Blood Knot Machines that make tying them a snap. I'm not sure
if he has any left, but I'd recommend grabbing one or two if he does.

The design appeals to me because its
simple (and even more importantly) it would cost me nothing because I
already have the right leader material!

g.c.

Not that I'm cheap or anything...
O.K. I *am* cheap.


Not that there's anything wrong with that.
