Got mine too. They were shipped in a nice box, and were individually packaged. They look nice.

I will see about trying them this weekend and will be sure to report back.

Thanks Maxima. You tie a mean blood knot.

Maxima,

thanks for the leaders. I just got them today. As JayL said, you tie a damn good blood knot. Thanks again. I can't wait to try them out with the warm up.

maxima,

I will enjoy these. You couldn't have timed it any better. I was just cleaning and turning the DT line on my 3 wt reel (ross evolution, coincidentally) when the mailman delivered your Evolution Leaders...one went straight on the reel!

Sincere thanks...I look forward to putting them to the test!

I just got my leaders today... as everyone has said they look fantastic!

I have 2 questions for you.

First, how do you tie your loops. I think I'm going to impliment a loop to loop connection on my leaders this year.

And second... what do you sell your leaders for? If I don't start tying my own, I might purchase some.


Thank you again!

Ryan,

If I remember right, it was a perfection loop.

Loop to loop is the only way to go, IMO. Nail knots blow.

 

[pennsadventures]

i used to think that nail knots sucked too till i got a tying tool...its fast and easy and i can ty a full leader is 10 to 15 min with this tool. they are cheap too!

 

[jayL]

I make a loop in my fly line and whip finish/knotsense it. A leader change is a matter of a minute now. For all the times I switch back and forth between sink tips, it's crucial, but I also enjoy being able to switch between my nymph leaders and my dry fly leaders at will.

 

[blueheron]

I tie a connector loop onto the end of the flyline, it's smaller than a loop in the flyline and doesn't catch as much.

 

[troutslammer]

many different ways to connect , some will argue that loop to loop loses too much energy for dry fly casts , and hinges too much , i don't see a problem with it , i am with jay L here we both like the cortland braided loop fly line connector ...lmao

 

[troutslammer]

i use the tool above for nail knot , but i use it to connect different size tippets together , just tie a nail knot and turn the tool arround and tie another creating a back to back nail knot and pull both running lines together to cinch it and trim tag ends , someone had a video of a demo on the tool ,
