What is a good way to straighten out my leader on my fly line?
When I take it out and start fishing it wants to stay coiled up, after a while is straiten out though, I’d just like to have it straight right when I start fishing. I know they have products that are supposed to fix it up, but is there a way to do it myself?
There is only one tool you need to use when you need to straighten out your leader, your hand.
There is a long standing rule of thumb when it comes to tying knots, always moisten the knot before you tighten it. If you don’t then you will burn the knot and that weakens the knot.
Think about that for a moment, you tie your knot and all you have to do is pull it tight to finish it.. The leader will move just a small amount, hardly even enough to measure. Yet, that is enough to cause friction by the leader rubbing against itself or the tippet. Just the smallest amount of movement causes that and if you don’t moisten the knot before had you burnt the leader.
Your question is how to straighten out a whole leader or maybe just a small section that got itself twisted. You are talking about rubbing the entire length or a large section of the leader, not just a minute amount of movement when a knot gets tied. Trust me when I say that you can end up really overheating and burning your leader when you start moving it through anything that much.
If you use anything other than your hand, you will end up burning the leader, weakening it and possibly loosing a fish, naturally it would be the biggest fish of the day since that is how life seems to work.
If you use commercially made leader strengtheners or rubber bands or any thing else except your hand, you stand a really good chance of applying too much pressure, causing excessive heat and thus burning your leader.
The nice thing about using your hand is that your skin will burn before your leader will. If you start to burn your skin, you are applying too much pressure, so ease off a bit.
Grab your leader in the palm of your hand and wrap your fingertips around to make a tight fist. Slowly move your leader through your hand. You can do this a number of times and not damage the leader because you will not want to burn your hand. The leader will straighten out after a few times.
If it is a small section, then just place that area between a thumb and your index finger and pull the twisted section through a few times.
If the leader does not straighten out, then your best bet is to cut that section out, tie the ends back together with a blood knot or if it is really small, like your tippet, then with an Improved Surgeons knot, and keep on fishing.
Some leaders get so kinked that they either have to be repaired in that manner or tossed away (please place it in your pocket and put it in the trash when you get back home) and put on a new leader.
Toss out the commercially made strengtheners , I did and never regretted it.
By the way, if you use those or anything else on fluorocarbon leaders or tippet you can very easily cause damage to that material. It will actually cause cuts running up and down the leader. Only use your hand and you will have no problem.
Hope this helps.

Fly Fishing – With The Right Equipment And Technique It Is The Most Enjoyable Sport
Fly fishing is a water sport and a very different fishing technique used to catch big game fish. The sport of fishing is also known as ‘angling’. Salmon and trout are the popular fish that are sought by anglers of fly fishing. In recent times other species of fish such as Bass, carp and pike have been added to the list of game fish that fly fishermen seek the world over. Fly fishing is believed to have originated in Macedonia in the 2nd century and has now become a popular sport among the European and American fishing community.
Fly fishermen have developed many different lures to attract the game they seek. They have also developed ways to cast and reel in the lure to hook the game that more often than not gets fooled into biting. Some of the lures that are popular among fly fishermen include:
1. Emerges and dry flies, these include stone flies and midgets.
2. Nymphs such as Mayflies and worms.
3. Streamers wet flies such as buggers and leeches.
4. Saltwater flies such as marlin and sail fish
5. Bass and Panfish flies examples are crawfish and eels
It is important to have the proper gear for fly fishing. The most important gear is the fly fishing rod. This piece of equipment May Vary from 6 feet in length to 12 feet. The fly rod must match the weight of the fly line. A mismatched fly rod with the wrong weight line will result in improper casting and will ruin the whole exercise. The length of the rod itself is determined by the type of fish the angler is going after the bigger the fish the larger the rod and heavier the line.
The babboo split cane is a popular fly fishing rod. This rod is made by splitting the bamboo into four lengths and gluing it together again over a solid core. Freshwater trout fishing is a fly fishing sport that demands this kind of bamboo rod for success. Synthetic fly fishing rods are making their presence known; however, the die-hard fly angler will stick to the traditional bamboo fly rod and tackle.
The line of the bamboo rod is usually made out of horse’s hair. This line needs to be regularly dried or it will rot. The silk line used for fly fishing has the same requirement. However, these days the synthetic nylon line is the best suited for fly fishing as the line is stronger and lighter than the traditional fly fishing line.
