That first piece of leader make a short piece and tie a loop knot From there tie on your tapered leader with a loop knot as well. Now if you need to change leaders you don't have to cut your line. I will use a uni-uni along the length of the leader if I make my own and then finish with a loop knot. To this add your tippet with another loop knot. This keeps you from cutting your leader too often.<br><br>As I have said before I am no expert. This is just how I do it.Wed, 05 Mar 2008 04:47:12 GMTVlaphttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic25169-13-1.aspxDo you tie the loop knots at line to leader or leader to tippet? What knots do you use for each?Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:52:48 GMTonemorcasthttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic25169-13-1.aspxI usually get the tapered leader and then add a short section (@12") of 20-30 lb mono. tie a handshake knot (2 look knots) and you won't have to keep cutting your leader when changing flies.<br>I am no expert but this seems to work for me.Mon, 03 Mar 2008 08:16:14 GMTVlaphttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic25169-13-1.aspxI like scientific anglers redfish line and about a 9-10 foot leaderSun, 02 Mar 2008 16:47:35 GMTChasin tailshttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic25169-13-1.aspxThanks for the quick response Vlap.
