Couldn't you just start at 8' starting length and place the pegs proportionally to what you do when you start for your 6' finished leader ??
Jack's measurements come out just short of 8', if I'm reading them right he is saying 94". I am curious about that set up. It would result in proportions of 30% butt section, 35% mid section, and 35% tip section. That strikes me as a bit light in the butt and somewhat overextended in the tip, especially after adding tippet.
Just wondering if this is a standard proportion for you, Jack, for the various leaders you do. And how you arrived at these proportions, and if you have tried other set ups ??
