Quick take
Leather straightener that removes coils and memory from fly line, tippet, and leader.
This is a small leather leader straightener for fly anglers who fight coils in their leader or tippet. Draw the line through the felted sides to take out the memory left by the spool, and it wipes the line clean as it goes. A D-ring lets you clip it to a vest or jacket so it stays within reach on the water.
Best for
- Fly anglers who store leaders in coils
- Extending leader lifespan before replacement
- Quick field cleanup of kinked fly line
Skip if
- You straighten leaders in your hand before casting
- You replace leaders frequently enough that memory is not an issue
Strengths
- Leather pads grip line without damage as you pull through
- D-ring attachment clips to vest for convenient field access

Trade-offs
- Leather requires drying after saltwater use to prevent degradation
- Process takes time compared to hand straightening
