I fish with poly leaders. For trout, I use the 5', and add 4' of tippet.
You can get them in a variety of densities, from floating, Intermediate to
type 7 sinking. I only use the sinking variety on lakes.

they are better at turning over flies, I do a better job of changing tippet
for the occasion, and I like to know that my fly is at the same depth as my
flyline. Using nylon leaders, I have had the occasion, that I am counting
my sinking line down, and I look out and see that my fly is still floating
on the surface.

Ok another one of my many questions. ....

I was thinking it would be good to stick with one brand of leader to get
to
know it's qualities for turning over flies and such. I've had some 9ft
leaders hat could turn a fly over and some that would create a huge wind
knot
with the same fly. So i'm looking to see where peoples loyalty lies as far
as
leaders and tippet go?
