I use Airflo polyleaders of the floating variety....mainly for trico

They are amazing, with one caveat: you have to be intent on fishing with dry
flies all through the session. The tippet attaches to the loop at the end of
the Polyleader, and I have managed to use a rig for tricos as follows: one
foot of 5x, followed by a tippet of 6 foot of 7x attached to the leader.
Killer drag free float, but no way one is going to change to nymphs or wets
with this rig. Experiment, and by all means, report back.

Interesting input Tom I was mainly thinking about the sinking leaders,
but your use of a floating leader for dry flies is food for thought.
In the past I have just used Gink on my leader for a couple of feet to
get the result you have noted here, but after a while it wears off and
you have to start over. Good thinking on an old problem when the
Mayflies start to hatch.
