Because monofilament leaders have "memory", the coils must be removed from the leader before fishing. By drawing the leader through this leather gum rubber pad, you not only straighten the leader but also remove the shine.
Available : With or without pin-on attachment.

Leader Straightener, September 11, 2009
By Nautico from Honolulu, Hawaii

"As received this line straightener did not work well because the foam rubber liner was too soft. I lined the surface with inner tube rubber and it works better."

It don't work if you don't have it, July 17, 2008
By fishfor17 from Rock Springs, WY

"The straightner works fine but the clip that pins to your vest is a piece of trash. I have lost the straightner and a bottle of floatant because of these cheap clips. Make sure you attach the straightner to something else."

Too soft..., April 7, 2008
By Mrgnj1 from Menomonie, WI

"I'm not real thrilled with this straightener. I thought the inside was made of leather, but its more like foam. It just doesn't have the texture to do a good job. It doesn't work that great unless you run the leader through it about 10 times with as much pressure as possible."

Foam Insert Will Not Hold Up, July 14, 2007
By Orville from Gulf Coast

"Good concept..but not good quality. The insert of the leader straightner is foam or neopreme. Once you have pulled your leader through, the line cuts into the foam..and leaves a permanant indention. I do not expect this product to last all that long."
