Default Fluorocarbon leaders, anyone use them?

Thanks for the report, think I'll give them a try. Some have complained
about tying a good knot with FC, any tips (applied solutions) when
connecting lines?


That complaint has been argued here on roff several times. I haven't
experienced any trouble with knots, even when using a nylon leader and
a fc tippet. I generally use a double surgeon's knot at the
leader/tippet section, and a simple clinch knot at the fly.

BTW, I use Orvis leaders and tippet. That may make a difference.
