In another post garb72 asked a question in regards to tapered leaders. Since I don't want to change the theme of his post I started this thread with a quote from Buddy Sanders where he responded to garb72's question - Hope you don't mind Buddy:


"All in all, though, absent some odd specific requirements, it's really just a matter of personal choice. There are some very accomplished fly fishermen out there who don't bother with any kind of tapered leader at all. They just use a properly sized level piece of monofilament line."


I am one of those fly fisherman who don't mess with tapered leaders. While I might not be considred very accomplished I catch my fair share of fish using either 4, 6, 8 or 12 lb Stren Mono. What I am curious about is - Am I alone? How many of you other guys just tie on a straight leader and let it fly.

Thanks
