Only when I need one. I carry a spool of fc and a small pack od snaps and swivs in my bag. FC goes bad you know. themore exposure the more brittle it gets. Good FC comes with a use date on the spool.

Why even try.........

None. I carry a small Plano box with swivels and Breakaway clips in a fanny pack, and a 1/4# spool of 40# clear Ande mono in my jig bag.
One 50 yard bracelet of 40# flouro behind the last row of inserts in my plug bag.

I wait till I need them,once a week I'll tie up a dozen or so what ever I need for the week,sitting on the deck on a nice warm day drinking a cold beer tying leaders works out better for me.

bingo! Fluoro sucks... too eoxpensive and does nothing better than mono... I don;t care what you've heard about abrasion or light reflective qualities... 60-80# mono for eel leaders... 40-50# for plugs... 1 spool lasts 3 seasons |

Ask Nebe about my hatred of flouro.. waste of money at night especially! |

Great point Flap. I'll be covering this subject at the SWE show on Saturday.
I never have more than 3-4 leaders pre-made. Knots get very brittle.

Agree 100%. Tie them as you need them.I usually do them right before I go out for the night. If you want to tie something up in the winter, try a fishing rod, jigs, or your significant other.  |
