The Board

Hi all,

I was wondering what leader configurations you use when teaching students? I know that a poor leader design can cause wind knots even if people are throwing (what seem) wide loops. I currently use a Rio 9' tapered leader and about 4' of 10 odd pound tippet for practicing, and a bit of glow bug yarn that is about as big as my thumb nail

Thanks!

That works for me!

Thanks Paul!

All the best

I use a 9' 0X leader and don't add any tippet.

Lars

I make them with cheap nylon, 0,5 0,4 and 0,3 mm and go by the 40/30/30 or 60/20/20 formular. And then a piece of fluff at the end. 9-10 feet normally.

Cheers
Lasse

I use RIO Powerflex Trout leaders: 3-pack, knotless tapered 7.5 or 9', 1x or 2x. Change out tippet when needed. Hot pink yarn for fly.

Happy Spring!
Craig

Pretty much the same as Lasse, although I usually use 5 diameters.. I use Maxima chameleon

Thanks all! Interesting to see what everyone uses:D I used to use the powerflex plus, that gets very expensive....

Funny if I google “Memento Piscantur Saepe” this post comes up second. Is that the same for everyone? Just thinking about the Google algorithms here

All the best
