	OS, I did a cost breakdown for the materials I detailed above that included 25lb test wire and high quality ball bearing swivels and snaps. 14" leaders cost $2.25 each to make

	Quote: BTW the 25lb wire that I got stated the dia as .014 and I was a little disappointed in that since previously 25lb wire was noticeably thinner at .010 The wire I got was .010, that's why I could get those 3 strands in that .033 sleeve. IF your latest purchase is the standard now, then 2x .014= .028, which "might" mean that I/we could just do a conventional sleeve crimp and not my McGyver version. I still think the double sleeve on each end is a good idea, those #1 sleeves are as small as that wire. If you read that Leader-tech info, he discusses the various types of crimpers. He hates the cup to point type and recommends the cup to cup type, which I used.

These were taken in Macro-Mode, so that loop on the wire side, is about the size of a hook eye.

	I tied my first leader. It looks good and passed the stress test. KF -- do you tie your leaders to a mono line or directly to braid? puckster

Now I've just got to find Eagle Claw Lazer Powerlight Swivels and SouthBend Ball Bearing Coast Lock Swivels I will probably order them online. I used a SPRO swivel and snap swivel to see if I could make tie the knot and make the leader. Before I get into "production mode," I want to use the good stuff. puckster
