Now making 200# Fluoro casting leaders and 175# 49 Strand Jigging Leaders. See description at top of post for details.
I am donating $1.00/leader sold to MMA this year.
Here are a few fish from last season caught on my leaders.

First and last muskie – client made 3 casts, boated this beauty on a topwater – got a replica. Done with that; on to the next bucket list item…

"A chaffing spring is used in each loop to minimize the risk of wear. On one end, a swivel, and the other a solid ring with a 250# or 300# Stay-lok snap. "

I've never seen a chaffing spring either, good idea. What I've been using on my flouro loops is fiber optic " holder/ keeper". I don't know exactly what it's called but all you bow hunters know what I'm talking about. That clear plastic thin tubing that fiber optic comes in. Any bow shop has them, and they probably just throw them away after they pull out the fiber optic. They're strong, thin, clear, and with the slightest heat they can be shaped to match the curve in the end of a flouro loop. I don't heat it with the line in it, I use a piece of steel leader material. After slight heat with a lighter, I bend it, and hold it for a few seconds while it cools. This keeps its tear drop form. Then I simply pull the piece of steel leader out and reinsert the flouro. It's fast and easy. Best of all….its free.
