A one foot long leader does sound pretty simple. g


I don't know about that. It would be pretty tough to fit five or six
segments in that 12". The advantage would be that it's just GOTTA be
less prone to wind knots.

He said he bought them, not made them. Extruding a 1' tapered leader wouldn't
be that hard.

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths a roffian will go to raise an
argument. ;-)

I know you are, but what am I?

"M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended
to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!"
