Tippet or not
#13
Well, I guess it's not tapered like in the sense of the new leaders that gradually taper throughout their length. The term "tapered" came from a time when different lengths of horse hair were knotted together so that the leader would get smaller (in steps) all the way to the tippet. That new stuff that came out when mono was invented is actually borrowing the term "tapered" (historically speaking)....lol.

I use the Ritz formula for making my leaders. I use various sizes of leader material.
