Whereas I make all my lake leaders, have no interest in tying up river leaders, and have been finding the Rio Powerflex leaders of late retain too much coil memory. Other brand tapered leaders to consider?

I haven't bought a tapered leader in over 40 years, but I have numerous friends that swear by LOOP Tackle leaders.

I've used the SA Freshwater leaders for years and am using the Absolute Trout leaders now (mostly 3x). A quick finger rub stretch/pull and good to go. Most end up trimmed at .012 and 1' 0X of sighter put on, then a ring. 7.5' for shorter rods, 9' for longer.
