Anyway, do you guys do this? Wax your leaders when fishing poppers or
dries? Do you use any special kind of wax?



I occasionally grease a part of the tippet/ leader to use as an indicator,
it also "supports" the fly in the water column to an extent. ( I use
use
paste style fly floatant .... I'm partial to Hydrophobe )


When nymphing, greasing the back three-quarters of the leader is an
excellent aid to detecting bites. I use an old tin of Mucilin that must be
32 years old at least (belonged to my grandfather who died in 1973), and it
still does a good job.
