I was just contemplating buying some more leaders because mine are getting kind of old, even tho they have never been opened. But that's kind of silly, they shouldn't be bad except on the 5x end even if they had gotten old, should they? Oh, and by the way, what brand of leaders do you folks use - do I really have to pay 4.25 each just because they might be a little limper, or stiffer, or something?
