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?


I buy Orvis Super Strong leaders in the 2 packs and build from
there. For trout I start building on the 7.5' 3X and for smallie
leaders I start with the 6' 0X.

I've never had a memory problem with Orvis Super Strong but I
have with Rio.
