What say you? Are they any good in your opinions...

Never tried them. I have used Leeda Profil and furled leaders for years now. :)

I have used them in the past but they were the very devil to get to lie straight. Their formula has probably changed by now though.
If I use a tapered leader it is usually Rio Powerflex.

A common problem. Leeda Profil are pretty good though.

Not used the orvis ones. Leeda profil are spot on although getting hard to get. Hardy ones are good as are rio

If you could use untapered then fit a finer end tippet then both Amnesia and Kamoufil are an easy pull and will draw straight.

Cheers for the replies. I have used Leeda Profil before but not for quite some time. I'll probably buy some of those as they look decent value for money.
