Hi guys,

I totally agree. I bought about a dozen of them via mail-order from Cabelas just before I moved out to SW Alberta this spring, and I couldn't be happier. I also got some with the new sink-tip option as well, and it makes it so easy to change things around.

I initially bought them with the idea that I could meticulously pre-tie some flies onto a few leaders before I left home (because tying on flies riverside had been a major source of frustration and delay for this half-blind newbie) but I seem to have become better at my knots ... but I still love the leaders for their convenience.

The season opens next week ... I'll give you an in-the-field report.

Ron
