Did you find the above interesting? | People who looked at the above also looked at:
The following description on how to make your own twined leaders was given to me by Henk Verhaar from Holland. Henks description fascinated me so much, that I made the first set of three leaders already the first night after having recieved the description.
Great leaders made by the ancient method of ropemaking.
One of GFF's all-time most popular articles and downloads just got better! Download two new upgrades for FREE! 1) Leadercalc2007, enhanced with new formulas and label making features and 2) the all new GFF's Leader Guide, a 28-page PDF book you can use for your classroom or personal use.
Leaders fall in several categories. These all serve the same purpose: transmitting the energy fra the fly line to the fly in a gentle, yet firm way. The different types each have their advantages and disadvantages, and selecting one is often a question of compromises.

A Global FlyFisher Publication
Submitted March 1st 2010
Dundee,
To be clear: No, no reproduction of photos on websirtes, in brochures or other printed material.
We make one general exception, and that is reprint of articles in club newsletters and we sometimes grant permission to translate articles into other languages.
But we generally do not want to see our material other places than here.
