i used to have that problem. i switched to straight up mono instead of a leader when fishing streamers. if you want to stick with tippet on the leader change the knot. i would PM old_coot, ask him for his know link there are several that he uses for deep water jigging that translate over poerfectly to fly fishing. welcome to the sickness[/quote]
I also use mono for streamers or for heavier nymphs. For me it was because it seems to cast better with bigger flies and streamers. especially roll casting.. I was doing more flopping the rolling until i started using the heavier line.Also..I use Furled leaders(thanks to FG) so i never have to buy the tapered leader.
