Keeping Your Leader - 06/10/16 06:50 PM
So I just recently received some Airflo Polyleaders. Now, realizing how expensive leaders are, I would really like to have a leader/tippet setup that would preserve the leader and prevent me from losing it upon getting hung up. But the problem is I'm going to take these in the salt in a couple weeks which means I have to use a heavy "shock" tippet. The shock tippet will end up having a heavier pound test than the leader. So when I get hung up or break off for whatever reason, I would lose both the leader and the tippet, right?
Could I have a setup where I have the leader, then a short section of weak line, then the shock tippet? Would something like that prevent me from losing the leader?
I would love to hear your suggestions.
