I've been using the Orvis Super Strong leaders, and have been slightly less than impressed. I can never get them to uncoil right and lay 'flat' on the water. No matter how often I run it through my leather leader straightener, it still lays in coils on the water. It's not a super huge problem when the fly has a little weight behind it, but when I'm using a size 20 and smaller trico I miss a lot of hits because I try to set the hook and I pull 2 to 3 feet of slack tippet/leader material. I've used the Rio stuff too, with what I feel like is moderately better results.
So, is it me? Am I not using my straightener correctly? Is it my cast? Or is it the leader material?
