I'm attaching pictures with measurements of the leaders I currently fly with so I can get some thoughts and comments...
I have marked the knots I fly on outdoors 99% of the time with a lime green dot. I fly a B series (vented and non) on these 2 knots depending on the wind. I've only just got the Zen so don't have a setting for that yet.
I've always got the impression that I should be shooting for an even bigger differential, but I've also had someone say I should make a slightly longer bottom leader for the handles (no snags) that I have - which would reduce the differential.
On a final note, I fly indoors with thes on the very last knots top and bottom and the bottom lines on the knot closest to the kite on the indoor rev.
So what say you .... do I need to increase the differential, am I in the ball park or have I overshot the mark?
Thoughts .... comments .... smutty remarks ..... all welcome

Just to be clear: It doesn't matter how long your bottom leaders are. It doesn't matter how long your top leaders are. What matters, is the difference in length between the top and bottom leaders.

I'm curios as to why you prefer core less, I've always used cored bridle line on the theory that it is less likely to stretch. It also has the advantage of a built in wear indicator, with a black brea
