sorry about this lads. Im still learning. I know there ia loads of debate against tapered leaders, but. I have been using them. Im not a "monster caster" so i have found them ok but Im still not sure what knot to use. Also what is the best knot for a normal leader. I use 18lb mono most of the time.
good luck

Dave,
Remember that last video I said you wouldn't need, the one on tying the leader knot? It's in your mailbox!
All the best,
Ian

It is worth tying a leader knot on some scrap line and then just pulling and pulling until it breaks - just to make sure you're happy with it. Nothing worse than tying a new type of knot and have it pull out when you hook into a good fish. You have to be confident the knot will hold.
