I tie tags on with a double or a triple Surgeon's Knot. I still use my furled leaders though. I use a 5' leader and attach 4 to 5 feet of tippet. If I use split shot, I attach it to the end of the tippet. I then attack 8" to 12" tags every foot or so up the tippet.
But, If I am fishing a dry/dropper, I attach the tippet to the furled leader ring leaving a 12" to 18" tag at the ring. I attach the dry to that then on the tippet I attach a tag for one nymph/emerger/dry and another nymph/pupa/small bugger on the end.
Size of the submerged flies depends on the size of the dry.
