Am I better off tying my own leaders or should I purchase a leader. Whay types of leader or leader material shopuld I purchase.

If you are going to hire a guide, he'll build you a leader. Every time I tarpon fish in the Keys the first thing my guide does is check gear, cuts off whatever leader is on the line and builds a new one. They all turn their noses up at the other guys leader even though most of the Keys boys are close friends. It funny hearing them ask, "who built this $#!%", with a big grin on their face.
