I began tying my own leaders 3 years ago and I'm starting to think it might be easier to go back to packaged knotless tapered leaders. It seems like no matter how many different formulas I tie up, I never have what I want in my leader wallet. I have thought about tying a couple butt/mid sections down to maybe 0-2x and then just leaving a tippet ring at the end to tie on tippet for any situation. Does anyone have a system they use both on or off the stream to cover all the bases? Or is it just easier to start with a 7.5' or 9' 5x leader and cut back or add tippet as needed?
