Re:Making your own Leader Stretcher - 2005/10/11 09:42
I`ve saw some made out of aluminium and plastic. you need to make a frame about 26" by 6 or 8 # and 1 1/2 inches deep. Not only that the short members of the frame statically need slots to catch the rubber or elastic that you are using for tension. the hooks will catch the other side. You should be able to put the leaders in from iether direction to double the number you carry I stetch my shock tippet at home by putting 10 to 20 # of weight on a six foot long section hung from a door or whatever for days. then I cut it up in 23" sections and put it in a tube made of PVC pipe. Class 200 will do. After I nightly get to the fishing location, I tie some up for each days fishing. I carry some clips so I can hang it again overnight if possible. Again I carry it out to the boat in a PVC tube. Altogether stretchers are nice but they take a lot of space
