KNOTLESS LEADERS   by   FTUSA
More than 90% of the leaders sold today are knotless tapered leaders. Unlike hand-tied knotted leaders, which are made from sections of various sizes of monofilament tied together in gradually decreasing sizes, knotless leaders are manufactured by an extrusion process that decreases the size of the leader at a constant rate throughout its length. Since the manufacturing process has improved dramatically in the last couple of decades, most fly anglers are perfectly happy using knotless leaders. They are reasonably priced, they have no knots to catch on guides and stream vegetation, and they cast well as long as the leader type is matched to the fishing conditions.
Nylon is the standard, and perform best under a wide variety of conditions. Nylon has a specific gravity of about 1.1 (with water at 1.0) so it tends to ride high in the surface film and sink very slowly. Fluorocarbon has a specific gravity of about 1.75, so it sinks much faster than nylon. There are many theories about whether a leader should float or sink, and whether one or the other spooks fish more, but the general consensus seems to be that nylon leaders are fine for the majority of fly fishing situations. The Triple Surgeon's Knot works well when joining different types and diameters of Nylon
leader material.
