How to Make a Fishing Leader

A Fishing Leader is a stronger section of monofilament or wire that protects the fishing line from damage. Sometimes a leader may also be used to reduce the visibility of the fishing line. Leaders can range from 3 inches to 10 or more feet in length, depending on the species targeted and the fishing conditions. Monofilament leaders are normally used, except for toothy fish where a wire leader may be called for. All fishermen should know how to rig leaders.

Tips How to Make a Fishing Leader

1. Decide if you need a wire or monofilament leader. Use the side cutters to cut the leader to the required length. Make sure that you add 8-10 inches to each end for tying the knots.
2. Take one of the barrel swivels and, using a uni-knot, tie the swivel to the fishing line. Trim the excess length from the knot. The monofilament can also be tied directly to the fishing line using 2 uni-knots.
3. If using the wire leader, attach the wire to the barrel swivel using a haywire twist. For the monofilament leader, use another uni-knot to attach the leader to the barrel swivel.
4. Take the fishing lure or hook and and tie them to the leader. Use another Haywire Twist for the wire leader, or a uni-knot for the monofilament leader.
5. Now go and catch the big one, without worrying about the line breaking.
