Default Long tapered leaders

ugh, can't fugure out how to edit my post. Tom, try the above also. The
formula for the 5x to the right got moved too far left for the tippet.

5X:

.015.... 18-19" (maxima)
.013-----18-19" (maxima)
.044-----18-19" (maxima)
.009-----18-19" (maxima)
4X-------15" (super strong or whatever)
5X-------36" (super strong or whatever)

You can go to 6X by cutting down the 5X to 12"
You can go to 7X by cutting down the above 6X to 10-12"

Hope that helps to clarify. The 4X formula is fairly readable. Just
follow it down.



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.
