Man, you guys are really uptight about your leaders.

Was it you that wrote that knotted leaders turn over better than
knotless because the knots are "power transmitters," or something like
that?

That's absurd. It's not physical. Makes no sense at all.

I have tried the knotless many times for dry flies and have always
found a well tied, compound leader to be more accurate. It has to do
with the energy transfer of a larger diameter section producing
sufficient force to carry into the next section, which can also be of a
softer grade. It has nothing to do with the knots.

OK, an advantage in having a transition to a softer-grade section is at
least plausible.
