Like you I had trouble with tapered leaders I used to use Varivas and rovex but to be honest I think it was more to do with the mainline.
after I changed to 12lb Shimano Technium invisitec mainline coupled with the Trabucco tapered leaders the difference was amazing I even struggled to pullout of snags and in the end I've had to use my braid mandrel to wrap round and pull out and I have a lot of confidence in this set up and the biggest bonus is the knot size.
