I don't build my own leaders...I've done it a few times, but too time
consuming.
That said, the system I am using now is awesome due to a superb product
by Climax. I take a standard 7.5' leader and then tie on a Climax Tippet
Ring (it's just a tiny solid metal ring). Then I tie on the tippet I will
require whether for dry flies or nymphing. I haven't had any issue
whatsoever with the line not turning over.
So for example, I may use a 7.5' 4x leader- then tippet ring- then 5x or
6x (rarely), or for nymphing 3x or 4x flouro. I'll leave that tippet ring
on for a number of fishing outings, maybe cut off a little tippet now and
then and re-tie the ring on.
Be advised, those tippet rings are quite tiny (as you would suspect) and you
will end up losing a few (they come in a 10-pack). This is one of my favorite
products, and such a simplistic idea. Even though the ring is small, you can
also watch it kinda like an indicator when high sticking.
I work for Oracle, so I feel ya on the money thing...how bout we trade salaries
and time worked annually?
