| What are you fishing for? I doubt very seriously if more than 1 in 10 members of this site ever buy pre made leaders. Actually, for many species, I don't even use a leader. Let me know what kind of tackle you'll be using and what you intend to catch and I'll teach you to make a better leader than you can buy.

| For Pompano, Redfish or Flounder, you don't really need a leader. None of them are going to bite you off. Unfortunately, you will get bit off by Bluefish, Mackerel and occasionally by Ladyfish while fishing for Flounder, Redfish or Pompano. I tie my lure or hook on using a double line Clinch Knot. I double my line using a 4 pass Surgeon's Knot (Identical to a Spider Hitch but less operator error prone.) If I am fishing from a boat, my Kayak or wading, I use wire only if targeting Mackerel or Kingfish. I use single strand wire if live baiting. Learn how to twist and break wire. Use #3-5 for live baiting and #7-9 for trolling. I use 18# test 7-Strand wire when fishing a Jerk Jigger (Gotcha) or jigs for Mackerel or Bluefish. Learn how to tie a Bristol knot for tying mono to wire. I sometimes tie a small snap to the end of the 7-Strand using a Figure 8 Knot or a 2 turn Trilene Knot. I seldom use sleeves. For inshore fishing I use 8# test Trilene XT or 8# Stren Dura Tuff 90% of the time with no leader. For Tarpon fishing, I use 20# test Stren Dura Tuff or 20# Trilene XT with a leader of 30# test Dura Tuff or XT.
