The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

I use surflon micro supreme leader wire for this. I just build my own tapered leader and for the final section use about 2 ft of wire. I suspect your leaders will be similar. I have found that I cannot use my usual uni knot with this material because it tends to kink the wire too much as I tighten it up. A standard clinch knot seems to tighten up much better. The key seems to be to tighten the knot as close as possible to the eye of the hook because lubricating the wire with spit as you would with mono/f.c. does little to aid in reducing line kink.

Hope this helps.
