Soaking Leaders Prior to Using
Leaders must always be well soaked before using them for fishing. The kit must contain a leader box, preferably of nickel, as the aluminum ones are too fragile. The leader box will have two felt pads and when these are wet and the leaders put between them the gut will become pliable without tight coils in a short time. It is safe to attach the flies to the leader when the fly-snells and leader are dry, if you do not draw the loops tight. Have plenty of leaders or, better, a hank of gut, when starting on a long trip. At the very least three leaders should be carried on a one-day trip. Six-foot leaders of good quality cost about $3.00 a dozen in trout sizes. Hanks of gut, good quality, for trout sizes, are 75c to $1.50.
