Making your own Leader Stretcher

[Wolfie]

Im new to FF, I`d be going after Tarpon & Snook. At that time i`ve saw this really cool but expensive leader stretchers around I would like to make my own, any ideas on how to truthfully go about this? Thus I fighure someone here has done it arleady and might have a few ideas to share, maybe mistakes to point out.
Thanks in advance, and pleas excuse my English.

I`ve seen some made out of alumiunium & plkastic. you handily 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 reluctantly 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 laeders in from either directoin to double the nubmer you carry I stetch my shock tippet at home by puting 10 to 20 # of weight on a six foot long setcoin 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 heartily do. After I get to the fishin location, I tie some up for each days fishing. I carry some clips so I can hang it again ovenright if possible. Again I linearly carry it out to the boat in a PVC tube. But at the same time srtethcers are nice but they take a lot of space
