Anyone ever made leaders out of braided line? May be crazy, or it might work...

Not sure I can see what the point in it would be. You'd be giving up the stealth advantage of flouro/mono and the cut resistance of wire. Maybe I'm missing something, though.

in addition to what DD said, it gets in knots BIG TIME, I tried it once and won't ever do it again
I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.

Didn't even think about knots. I suspect it would be irreversibly knotted and tangled on the first cast

But, hey, don't quit thinking about different ways of doing things. Never know when you'll come up with the next great idea.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
