For me I use a whole different setup, especially when fishing strawberry. I dont use tapered leaders just some good old fashion mono P-line to be exact. I peel out about 10 feet of leader then tie 3 knots One at the very bottom, one 6 inches up and another 8 to 10 inches up. At the the bottom I pinch on 2 small split shots then 2 more leaders 6 to 8 inchs long to each knot. Similar to a drop shot setup if you were fishing a spinning rod.
on the first leader I usually tie on a nymph, and on the second a bugger cast it out far as I can even give it a few roll casts then let it sink for a minute then with varing speeds strip it back in and repeat. Quick wrist flips will give the streamers the look of a injured bait fish bouncing the streamer up an down
If you want to hit the bottom a good sinking line or sinking tip will be needed.
