Amnesia for leader

[bartdezwaan]

Is amnesia suitable for use in a leader?
I find my leaders hard to straighten.

Cheers, Bart

I use red amnesia for the butt part of my practice leaders, I like soft and supple

Is it possible to still buy the black amnesia? I have a use for it in fly tying

Thanks, Paul

Should be Paul, know the surfcasters like it, so look outside flyfishing shops

Otherwise do it yourself, boil and colour some mono
