I started tying my own bass/warm water leaders. I had been interested in
trying it. I use Harry Murrays smallmouth recipes from the Leadercalc
spreadsheet.

For trout I use Orvis Super Strong. I but the 9ft 4x leaders. I snap off
some of the 4x, then tye on 5x and 6x. Kind of building my own with a
tapered base and mid section. Works well. I can add 7x if needed. Count the
knots to remember what size tippet I have one.

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?
