Singaporean leaders
So I’ve been trying up a few of these Singaporean leaders that were posted on a forum I occasionally frequent. They seem pretty nifty actually. You can make a grand tapered leader from scratch with only one spool of cast material. I’ve got a couple I’m going to try out tomorrow that I made with 8lb line. I’ve then attatched a short piece of single diameter 8lb line to the end, which I will then attatch my tippet to. I’ll let you know how they pan out..

I would be worried that there would be a lot of line spray coming off them. Usually you would want to use a tapered leader to help turn over for accurate dry fly casts for wet fly it does not matter anyway. They look as if they would absorb the same amount of water as furled leaders shich soak up a lot of water and spray it everywhere.
I suppose they would be good as an emergency back up but as first line attack you would be better just paying 1.95 and getting a nice smooth tapered leader out of a packet
Aye, that’s a good point, and something I will be wary of. Will probably give them a try tomorrow and see how they perform.
I cannae help being a tight@rse… I just seem to go through tapered leaders too quickly, and resent shelling out for them
