Default DIY knotless tapered leaders

Hi Forum members,

I once saw a page with a DIY description of how to "turn" your own tapered leaders of a piece of nylon the same diameter as the butt section. I've been looking and searching the web thin, but I can't find it anywhere.

I'm not talking about furled leaders, but "normal" tapered knotless leaders like the ones you can buy, just "home made" instead. As I remember it was something with a drill and a piece of nylon strung between to small hooks (one in the drill).

Can anyone help me?

Not sure if this is the sort of thing you're looking for, hopefully this thread will be of some use.

This one uses a drill and hook but they're calling it a furled leader so again I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for.
