Please notice: LeaderCalc hasn't been optimized for small screens. Turning some devices horizontally might make it easier to use, but using a suitably large screen is the best solution.
Leaders with two tapers - thin-thick-thin. Good for windy conditions and longer casts.
A.J. McClane Double Taper
15 variations- From "The Practical Fly Fisherman". McClane writes: "While not many people use double-tapers, this design has a definite place in casting fanwings, large bivisibles, or hair wings, all of which tend to increase drag on unrolling line."
Convex, long
45 variations- Some people believe that a thicker segment can be included between the butt and the front of a leader to aid loop shape, line speed and fly turnover.
Convex, short
40 variations- Some people believe that a thicker segment can be included between the butt and the front of a leader to aid loop shape, line speed and fly turnover.
Stanton Hector's Double Taper
3 variations- These ultralight, tapered leaders consist of two sections: leader and tapered tippet. The first four sections can end in a perfection loop, to which the last three are added. Leaders are all tied with Maxima Ultra Green monofilament. You can shorten the three tippet sections for windy conditions.
