got myself john holdens book on reel tuning. got the following tip from it:
"I mentioned earlier that I have no use for complicated leader knots. However, I do like tapered leaders where the material itself is thinned down over the last metre or so. What I don’t like is paying for them. I make my own crude but effective version by rubbing down the end of the leader material with wet-and-dry paper. The resulting leader knot is small, which promotes clean running."
anybody familiar with this?
what does he mean with wet-and-dry paper?
