knotted leaders

Hell, if he tied 12 foot leaders, I might be convinced to buy some myself.



He has had them I've gotten them from him,

I was also considering asking him if he would make some custom formulas from
Trout by Ernie Schwiebert. Some awesome stuff.

thats fast

Yes, I'd say so. Unrealistically fast, IMO. I can tie-up a leader in
about 10 or so minutes, I guess. I've never actually timed myself. I
measure and cut a number of tippet lengths that I figure on tyin', and
then tie. I don't doubt a person can tie them up faster than myself. I
feel that the blood knot is the strongest and straightest tie for leaders.
I don't know this to be a fact, it's just my opinion. So, I tie each of
my segment together with a blood-knot, and he apparently ties his leaders
using blood-knots as well.

I like that a blood-knot because it keeps the segments straight, the
length of the entire leader. On the stream, I have been known to tie on
another tippet using a double-surgeons knot, but that generally because I
am tyin' to a 5X a 6X tippet and it's just expedient to do so.

I've no call to question the man's business. If he can sell his leaders
for $2.00 a piece, then I consider the buyer to be gettin' a bargain, as
most manufactured leaders sell for a dollar to two dollars more than that.

Hell, if he tied 12 foot leaders, I might be convinced to buy some myself.
