I hope that you find at least a few of the leader designs to work well for you. I have used the designs—and modifications of them—successfully for many years (indeed, I grew up with them). I do recommend 4/6 Blood knots or 3-Turn Surgeon's (a/k/a Water) knots for the connections when dropping diameters quickly. I personally go with Blood knots in the leader body and Surgeon's for the tippet section(s). Drop a line if you find a variation that you like for your own fishing.

Without endless amounts of different size nylon, and a large number of knots? I will give it a try, this season. Thanks, Richard. Jason,

Very interesting leader system, and far different from what we have been use to, when tying traditional leaders. Without endless amounts of different size nylon, and a large number of knots?

I will give it a try, this season.

Thanks,

Richard.
