Does anyone build their own leaders?

Karl Rove has had some luck in that line.....

He may build them, but:
Advantages--

You get exactly what you make

Disadvantages-

Can be time consuming
Nuts can attract garbage
You get exactly what you make



Thanks Frank. POTW in my book

Now only use FC for dries (usually 9' - 5X) and add a few feet of 7X
FC to ensure a drag free drift. Found this combo to be the magic
solution to taking fish in heavily pounded waters.



Really? I would have bet that the disturbance in the film would be almost
as important as the refractive index.

As a tag on, the gauge of tippet can really have a factor on nymphs. The
bigger the profile, the more the current can have it's way on a nymph.
When I'm not getting hit on a 6x, I go down to a 7x.

The 7X FC sinks so there's no dimpling of the meniscus that shows up
like neon sign broadcasting, "Don't bite here."

(100 points for first use of meniscus.)

IMO, FC leaders are a total waste of money. I also think the
effectiveness of FC tippet is also a myth.

For dead-drift nymphing, I've taken my cue from Willi. I use a very long
section of tippet, usually tied onto a relatively short piece of
store-bought mono tapered leader. If I switch to dries I'll build up a
leader from that section.

Not unless you build stage sets for Spinal Tap.
