    Another nice tip Box. I precut my leaders, but twist the loop end because I don't have enought 7731's to store the way you do. Then I drop the lure and rig the hook when I'm changeing them out.

    Quick question do you prefer the free swinging hook or stiff rigged?

    I've been stiff rigging all of mine so far.

    Great stuff. I like the idea of the long leaders and they worked for the wahoos around here for the short time they were here in NJ. I do have a question about storing them. Why powder? I know this is not for corrosion resistance so for what then? Also, what kind of can, or container do you store them in?

    Thanks!

    Piano wire is not stainless - storing in talc or baby powder will keep them from rusting.

    Piano wire is at best a single day leader - more like single fish... by storing them in a coffee can, you can quickly swap out your hot lure to a new leader between bites. The tag ends will poke holes in plastic bags - a coffee can - the plastic ones are great for this - won't get holes poked in it.
