There is a wealth of information here and you might want to start at message #1 and work your way forward.

LEAP spreads are covered calls that use LEAPs (long-term equity anticipation series) as a stock substitute instead of outright buying the stock. LEAPs have an expiration at least 9 months out in the future. Right now, when people are talking about LEAPs, they are usually referring to January 2002 or January 2003. Not every stock has LEAPs available. The idea with writing calls against LEAPs is there is less cash outlay to buy the LEAP, therefore less money at risk and potential for higher returns on your investment.

Here's a link for a glimpse into the strategy:
