Michael,
If you can tie two basic knots: the perfection loop and the triple surgeons knots, then here is a great simple, 8' all-around bass leader for you:
Using your favorite mono (I use red Cajon) cut a piec of 30# 4 feet long + a few inches for knots
tie to a 2' long piece of 20#
tie to a 2' long piece of 10#
This leader has a 50/50 taper (50% butt section, 50% tapered section) that will turn over big nasty bugs and weighted streamers very well
I tend to keep it very simple for bass leaders: this is the only taper I use except to vary the last section from 14# down to 2X flouro tippet depending on application
aa
30# would be 30POUND
20# would be 20POUND
10# would be 10POUND
I was not aware that anything else should be used. No one told me otherwise.
