sirhoops;
Your leader was interesting in its construction. your formula makes a very delicate leader, I liked the way it cast.
8/0 Uni is only around 1# test, 6/0 is around 2. A lot of furled leader users like the 6/0 Uni. The leader is only as strong and 1/2 of the strands in the tippet section.
I see on the strength I must have looked at 6/0 not 8/0 strength. Thanks for the input
Got my leaders today, NICE JOB EVERYONE!
there's a few that where 2 colors (Sirhoops and Popperfly) , how did you do that??? if you don't mind me askin'.
BIG Thank you to Joe the Swap leader!

Received mine today and can't wait to fish some of them...I did not want to carry my color all the way through so I just made my color on my first and last dowels and then ran one loop of my tan 8/0 through those sections...the idea was to give me a Czech nymph type furled...although I found out you couldn't use it in comp I am getting into that a little and didn't want to give up my furled leader. I was curious about the break strength after some input and did end up catching a 4lbs bass on it...just goes to show you never know.
Jack, was my shorb loop actually through the leader or was it a threaded whip finish...I know I had one that my shorb messed up and so I had to thread finish it and did not mean to send it and I may have mixed it up and put the wrong one on my rod...just curious thanks
