Rhen,

It really depends on what material your braided leaders are made out of.

If they are made from mono thread, they will be stretchy.

If you make them from tying thread, they won't stretch as much but they can be a bit tangly.

If you make them from Spiderwire Braid, they are strong, float, don't stretch, and will pull a 10 pound bass through hydrilla easily (but you may capsize the boat if you aren't careful). Bit of overkill, maybe, but they are 'THE' leader for topwater flies for bass, primarily because of the low stretch (hooksets are better) and the floatation.

In any event, they aren't all the same. Nothing wrong wit hte tapered mono leaders either. It's all just personal preference, really.

Good Luck!

Buddy
