Tappered leaders and tippet material

In my own case this has resulted in ever decreasing reliance on knotless
tapered leaders; they just don't do anything very well. I do still
occasionally use them because I'm too lazy to keep myself supplied with
hand tied leaders. When I do resort to them, I always lop off a couple
of feet at the tippet end and rebuild from there. Knotless leaders are
produced by a drawing process. I think the stresses involved make the
tippet end virtually worthless.

That's absurd.

Is it? Let's see.

ALL monofilament is produced by extrusion, including the two feet of
tippet you're wasting and the other two feet you're replacing it with. The
"stresses" are the same.

Extrusion? Did I say something about extrusion? Did I, for that matter,
say anything about how monofilament is made?

BTW, please don't throw that two feet of wasted tippet onto the ground.

I'll save it for you. You can stick it where your head lives.

As often as not, I've found them to be badly out of round and with
serious flaws in the surface.

Where the hell are you buying leaders? Bob's Bait's closeout sale?

I'm not familiar with that establishment. Do they have an outlet in
southeast Wisconsin?

The material also tends to be considerably softer than the Maxima tippet
material I use routinely. The Maxima tippet usually cuts through the
weaker leader when I try to tie them together at small diameters.

You can buy Maxima knotless tapered leaders at Cabela's and at thousands
of other fine retail outlets around the country. Duh.

And? I thought I had made it clear that I wasn't in the market for knotless
tapered leaders.

Just down the road, but it may have changed ownershop, as it does every
year or so. They also sell minnows and nightcrawlers.

Right, because (among other things) they didn't accept your precious
Maxima tippet. Geez. What a self important loser.

Which road?

Huh? Refresh my memory. What was I trying to get for Maxima tippet, and
from whom?

Geez. What a self important loser.

Would you care to give us a hint concerning what the hell you are gibbering
about? And while you're at it, why don't you explain to us the difference
between drawing and extruding?
