Even though your leader and tippet material may be the least expensive gear in your arsenal, it may also be the most important. No other item has a greater impact on whether you land a fish than the line connecting you to the fish.
During a long day on the water, you should occasionally inspect your leader for nicks or wind knots. Any imperfections will weaken your line strength and may result in the loss of a trophy trout.
If you prefer to use traditional monofilament leaders and tippet, you need to replace your stock with new at the beginning of each season. Exposure to UV rays will weaken mono. Fluorocarbon can be used for consecutive seasons.
