Hey all,

I usually just buy the prepackaged leaders but was wondering what if
any, are the advantages / disadvantages of "rolling your own" leaders?

TIA,

Buy for dry, make for wet. Saves money and I get what I want.

Now only use FC for dries (usually 9' - 5X) and add a few feet of 7X
FC to ensure a drag free drift. Found this combo to be the magic
solution to taking fish in heavily pounded waters.

For wets, streamers, and steelhead leaders, I make my sections out of
20#, 15#, 10#, and 6# Maxima Ultragreen that I buy on 250 yard spools
for about the same price as one factory FC leader.
