Hello friends,
I succumbed and bought some lovely, long tenkara leaders. They are still dry and new and I was hoping that there may be an ideal way to waterproof them as much as able. One of the leaders is a Mystic Creek that is primarily furled thread material. The other is furled mono and I believe I can use standard methods on that one. My thought was to soak the mystic creek leader in something like "Watershed" or even warmed silicone and leave it to really soak in.
Open to suggestions if you choose to share.
Thanks,
Bob

I am using the Loon Payette Paste. It seems to work pretty well at keeping the leader floating and drag free.
