    I do about the same as KG, except, rather than a foot, my amnesia section is about 1.5-2 inches. Sealed up with UV KnotSense. Works great.

    The Cortland Dyna-tip lines have a visibly different color at the end. Same idea.

    With respect to the "red butt," I think Harry Murray still sells red butt nymph leaders.

    Rio also makes an "indicator" leader with a red butt. i ordered a few yesterday. Gotta look though... the don't have a wide distribution. They have a colored butt and a flat line extension for fast sinking of flies, rather than a conventional taper. $4.95 a peice everywhere i found them. I'll give them a try. Bit it seems like a simple task to tie a given X leader to Amnesia line and save alot more.

    I just bought some of this in WF4F. I got it on sale brand new for 30 bucks. I am pumped up to try it out.

    It is made by Rio...

    The sport is so royal that there is neither gentle nor villein, if it knew of it and loved it well, who would not be more honoured for that reason by all who understand it.
