30' Leader Issue

[Brandon Matthews]

Just this week I tied up a tappered 30' leader for long leader fishing; however, I noticed that my leader has a ton of curls in it. So I put tension on it for the last three days and checked it this morning and the curls are better but there still there. I'm worried that the curls will make fishing the long leader difficult and make it harder to stay in contact with my flies.

How do you guys straighten out your long leaders or don't you worry about. Is this something that will correct itself after the riggers of catching fish? Any advice would be appreciated.

Oh and by the way my leader is made up of Maxima Clear. And my taper consists of the following:

7' - 25 lb
7' - 20 lb
6' - 15 lb
1' - Amnesia straight sighter
2' - 3x Rio Tippet
5' - 5x Rio Tippet to point fly
2' - to anchor

Boil the leader for 3-5min then hang it right after, there you go straight leader.

Nice....I should have thought of that....I mean I do the same thing for slinky's and straight sighters.....brain fart!

I keep forgetting that little trick myself Brandon.

Boiled my Camou leader last night - instant brand new soft leader again!
