i like to use the nylon leads with a heavy brass snap at each end and the ring.  i have a fiest squirrel dog and i want to use the same type lead.  it doesnt work to well to use 5 lbs of chain on a 15 lb dog.

anyone know where i can get a lighter weight version of the same lead?

I like to make my own as well. I use a good 3/8 nylon rope and goto tractor supply/homedepot/local hardware store and get the size chain in the length you want.

Someone needs to write the book 101 uses for mule tape!

Go to tractor supply buy there double ply nylon leads, a one inch welded ring, and a matching easy snap. Cut the handle end with a box cutter slip the tree ring down the lead and put the snap in the handle. Take it to a shoe, or a boot and saddle repair shop. They will resew it back in place for a few dollars. I have four. Plus cable leads. Sidney.
