After the leaders are made they should be stretched, permitted to dry and then be carefully labeled and put
away. Some writers recommend testing each leader by making it pull three or four pounds against a spring
scale. A two pound pull is enough and the angler will soon learn to test his leaders with his hands without putting undue strain on them. At any rate beware of permitting some Herculean guide testing them with his hands — it cost us four dollars' worth of good leaders once!
