Just wondering how many people use polyleaders for still water fishing

Always found them numb and too thick, prefer a length of 16lb bs Kamoufil, needle knotted in through the fly line tip, Kamoufil has a good deal of stretch to a 1mm tippet ring then my chosen tippet, usually Helium Kamoufil or stroft gtm. If I want to sink well I use a good quality fine Fluorocarbon.Just wondering how many people use polyleaders for still water fishing

I do the same Hardrar,using a two foot length of 8lb Tynex as a butt piece. Polyleaders on the other hand are manufactured with a built in loop at the thick end and are designed to be handshaked through a loop on the flyline, it is one of the issues I don't like about them.I think it causes hingeing...?This is how I do it- short head #3 is my normal line weight m View attachment 46113
Surprised at that VB, a 5' light trout makes my #5 weight rig feel noticeably sluggish.Probably just me being picky.Having said that, a 5' tapered polyleader did the job nicely for me when I had a day on a small stream with a 6' 6" cane rod earlier this year. It's the longer length ones I don't seem to be able to get along with.
