o.k., so i can cast my line out in a nice straight line fairly
consistently,
avoiding "pile up", but my leader is piling up. i just put new leader
on
day before yesterday, and it is pretty curly. is it because of that, or
is
it related to my casting- or maybe something else? any ideas?
If your leader is curly before you cast it, it will be curly after you
cast it.
that's what i figured....
What you need to do is stretch it to get the curls out.
which i tried, but clearly not to the extent needed :-)
There
are various ways of doing that, but I usually just squeeze it tightly
between my thumb and index finger and pull it through. This process can
warm things up a bit but your by a stream, just dowse your finger in the
stream to cool them off. :-)
thanks-
