Tapered Leader
What is a tapered gut leader?
In Hemingway's short story "Indian Camp" he makes a reference to a "tapered gut leader." What is it, and what would it look like?
that's from the Nick Adams stories. my fav's
back when your grandparents were around, they used cat gut as the strong leader section you tied a hook on to, and then the bait. the worm.
think a ball of clay, rolled out into a worm.
got it?
okay, one end is skinnier than the other.
it was made of gut. gut gut was stronger and more resistant to being bit thorough by the big fishe's teeth.
now a days we use steel leaders with swivels on each end, and sometimes the line, not the leader, but the line still breaks.
happy reading
read big-two hearted river, by hemmingway. my fav.
esp. the grasshopper hotel, and. oh, all of it.
peace
