I never use tapered leaders anymore. I switched to furled and braided leaders a few yrs ago (except for saltwater flyfishing). Now I have given those up as well and only use Polyleaders. Polyleaders come in floating, intermediate sink and fast sink. They are incredible.

Orvis sells the "High Float" braided leaders that are incredible and never seem to sink. (I just wish their floating line floated as well).

I attached the furled leaders to my line via a loop to loop and then tied a perfection loop on my tippet. Once you get the hang of these you can do it in the dark. Now you only have to tie one "knot" and that is to your fly.
