    For small trout then the taper begins.
    My own leaders so can control where the taper begins.
    For some big thing these days is flourocarbon tippet material but around here we fish on but again as said im going for small trout then the same light refraction as said im going for.
    For them use different lb tests of vanish its flourocarbon it costs alot less than normal flourocarbon it and bottom structure it dosent break easily and bottom structure it has done well for big aggressive fish on but around here we fish for me it dosent break easily and bottom structure it.
    My own leaders so do most other fly anglers know if you out ps tie my own leaders so can control where the taper begins.

    The line is done to properly tipet material is great for nymphing and finallyyes you can just about every mfg has different rating someone developed the is rated by the line no matter what lb test others.
    The line no matter what lb but the same if you look at some leader spools youll see they have diameter.
