Getting lazy(er)with old age (besides my eyes ain't what they use to be) I
quit tying up my own leaders, have gone to the prepackaged ones. In your
collective opinion which tapered leader is easiest to take the coil out
after having been on the reel for awhile? I know about the stretching part
to get the worst of the coils out, but is there one brand that stands out
from the pack?

Oh, no. A leader fight! d;o)

Over the years I have tried several brands, usually bummed from a
friend stream-side when I didn't have one, as a gifts, or when forced
to buy something I normally wouldn't buy. I normally use nothing but
Orvis leaders and swear by them. For normal every day fishing, say at
the Rapid, I use a 4 or 5x 7 1/2 ft mono and tie on about 18 inches of
5x fluoro. If the reel goes unused for several months, I have little
problem getting out the coils.
I have used but do not like Rio, Frog Hair, Maxima.

H, ymmv
