[quote author=Kingfisher link=1394050043/4#4 date=1394085481]Since I have started using ultra-thin titanium/nickel alloy leaders that are stretchable and highly kink resistant, I don't even consider fishing without a leader. The swivels generally wear out before these leaders ever kink.
If you can tie a trilene knot in fishing line you can tie your own leaders with titanium. It's a little weird to work with at first really quite simple. 25lb test is my fave. I'll have a few leaders at Copia for those who will be there.

KF -- so you buy your own swivels to make your own leaders, correct?  What type?

I won't be at 'copia, so won't have the advantage of seeing you and the leaders.  But I'm intrigued.  No more bite-offs?  No more lost lures?  Or at least fewer of both.  I like that idea.
