How do you get the memory out of a leader?

Im purchasing an extra reel with some double taper so that I will he able to throw dries on my euro rod if I see rising fish. Im wondering how I can quickly remove the leaders memory so I can effectively throw light dries. Anyone have tricks?

Run it over ur waders or thru a piece of rubber material or just hand stretch it stream side !
The tippet shouldn’t require this if it’s lighter material strength wise !

Put a casting length of line, without any terminal gear, behind your boat and run
it fast for a few minutes. Does the job.

Used to pull through a section of bike inner tube. Works good if you can find a piece.

A leather "patch" folded over on itself with the line sandwiched inside. Slide the line through the leather this creates heat and the heat will remove the memory.

Pull it through a piece of leather. I’ve seen an item made just for that purpose, but I just cut a piece off of an old leather belt that doesn’t fit me anymore.

Dude...he's FLY FISHING !......and "stretching" isn't his problem.
There is a specific tool, as mentioned above, with a folded over piece of leather, even Walmart sells them. Pull the leader through, while pinching. Cheap solution ( a "tool" from that's been around for probably 100+ years ! & along with nippers, & usually hemostats, ALWAYS included in any "beginner combo package") and easy, peasy.
