Tie at home or tie away

I make up my leaders at home while watching the tube, coil them, stick them in my bag, and never worry about being ready if a leader gets damaged while fishing. Tip- use one of these below to pull your knots rather than risk damaging the line or harware by holding it with pliers. The swivel will just slide over the tip of the coastlock, so no need to even open or close it.

If the business end of my leader gets knicked by a blue or rock I will snip off a few inches and retie to my Breakaway clip, but only if I will lose a 1/4 of my leader or less.

Hope this helps,

Jon
