[quote Lech456]Given that I fish mostly smaller to medium sized rivers I am looking at a set of 5' leaders. I'm glad to hear I'm on the right track at least. the streamer thing makes perfect sense to me but I guess I am more concerned about how to use them with a nymph rig. My usual set up involves the use of a strike indicator some distance up the standard leader from the fly/weight. With the a weighted leader do I just put the indicator where the fly line and weighted leader meet or do I just need to quite being a sissy and start fishing sans indicator?[/quote]
With these leaders, I never used an indicator. Just tighter line. I like the intermediate and the Type II for nymphs and wet flies. It replaces split shot ans with make casting much easier (no duck and chuck). The faster the water the larger number sink tip. Nice thing an bout these are you can still mend your dry line to flow with the current. Vary the length of the tippet you attach to these sink leaders too. Maybe 6' to 3'.
