Re:Making your own Leader Stretcher - 2005/10/11 10:57
I have seen 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. The short members of the frame 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 either 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 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. Stretchers are nice but they take a lot of space
