hello all!!! if i have a 7.5ft 4x 6.4lb tapered leader and it's getting shorter would i tie on 4x line, or change it for any reason. also do you always buy a pre-made leader or can you make your own.
I buy the tapered leaders and splice on more tippet with a blood knot when it gets too short. I start with 12 ft 7x leaders and use 7x tippet to replace what's lost.
there's quite a bit about leaders here on the Forum. Just use the <SEARCH> function with "leader formula" and you'll get lots of hits.
I should have suggested this first,
Cheers,
Eric
