Ok.. Now that I am learning to make my own leaders. Thanks to Craigs UTube video. I have some technical questions/opinions on them. I have my own and a friends but I am curious what everybody thinks.
1) Won't the braiding make the leader slower to hook set because of the nature of a braid. It will stretch?
2) Because of the size in diameter won't it have problems on top water just by the nature water displacment?
3) When stripping with it is there a chance using 12 lb test would work better again because of the nature of the braid and how it trasmits a strike
4) Nymphing is very subtle? Will the braid remove the subtle takes normal tippet does
5) Why not make leaders with tippet and tying on 2 sizes or 3 sizes of tippet to your fly line. You know the old fashion way of building up your leaders.
Thanks everybody for input.
PS.. Using the latex glove has helped me a bunch for doing the twists. Again thanks to Craig for the input
