I know this is a little off subject but what is the differance between the 5/16 and 7/16 taps. They say in the leader catalog they have comparible results. This year Im tapping a new bush that has my tanks in the middle. I decided to run one half 5/16 and the other 7/16 because thats what I had left over from the other bush. There will be about 10 extra 5/16 on one side. i didnt really plan on this being an experiment I just did not want to have to change bits every other tree. It will be interesting to see if there is a differance. By the way the 5/16 are from leader and the 7/16 say maple power on them. Ive never had a problem with either but its much more difficult to install line on the leaders big barbs.
