Hi Speycasters.

Can anyone help me with a recipe for a "grassleader" for practicing on the backyard lawn.
Not even a long nylon leader creates a "anchor" effect.

After two years of extreme low water during the annual summertrip to little Stordalselva in Norway I need to practice.

Welcome Steffen!

The best information can be found by clicking on the search button and typing "grass AND leader". You will get lots of interesting discussion and recipes.

Use 20-25 lb stiff mono - like Maxima - and tie a blood knot every 4" leaving the tags on the knot about 1/2" long. I usually make it 10-12' long. The tags catch in the grass and provide the anchor - it works well - "almost" like water - but not quite.
