You are right on the horse hair but, I think it was was furled leaders which means the first section was maybe 24 hairs, second 18 hairs and so on. Taper means the same in both cases, fat to thin. There are receipes for making you own leaders (which I do) and whether or not it saves you money it opens alot of doors to what you can achieve. I like to start with .17 on the 9 foot leaders I make for my boo and end with 6X flourocarbon. The leaders you can make are endless, different leaders for different applications. It's really something to try.
