I'm sure his way works great! I didn't mean to sound like I was dismissing his post,I was just giving my 2 cents. The one thing I will say is that I was alot more concerned with leader formulas when I first started bc of my lack of knowledge on the topic and also my casting was extremely poor. I'm still not an amazing caster but the better I get, the better the fly turns over. Only when I have a bad cast the fly lands wonky. So I think if people focus on casting, a simple leader is fine. But if his leader setup works better, I'm totally for people using it but fishing/practice casting is also super important!

All this information is wonderful but to me....you guys are way over complicating things and if I was a new fly fisher reading this I would be very overwhelmed. I recommend starting out with 30lb and 20lb flouro. 15lb for tippet when you need a light presentation. Longer leaders for floating. Shorter for sinking. Try different combinations to accommodate your style of casting. Learn the loop knot and uni. Bong!

Just out if curiosity, how old are you sir? I'm just trying to understand where your coming from. Like am I listening to a disgruntled vet that in my eyes may have real reason to think the way you do or are you a 25 year old graduate from a college like Columbia that thinks he actually knows something? You own a house? Have kids? You may. Do you have to fill up several big gas tanks for work? Do you have kids? You say you didn't vote. Are you happy with your decision? You think this is better? You think this guy is better just bc he dosnt act a certain way or run his mouth? I certainly wasn't the biggest trump fan but good lord this ass clown is just out right terrible. I'm not trying to get into a fight or be sparky. I'm honestly curious. Just for the record I know trump lost. Not saying there wasn't shady dealings with that whole thing but he def lost. -
Keep them both for multiple setups/a backup rod. Set them up with 2 different lines. But if you only have one line and one spool I would sell a rod and get multiple spools and lines. Cheers

Are the other 4 still available?

If this is still available I will come get it today. I live 5 minutes from you. Thank you

Mono floats. If you need to go deep just use a heavy sinker but tie a teaser hook on a dropper loop. This allows you to still bounce the teaser effectively like a bucktail. Fluke balls are also another good option! I also use 15lb braid for this type of fishing. Good luck

Ill be throwing oversized topwater by day and big sub surface flies by night. I will check out the leviathan. Do you have that line on a 12wt? Just curious
-
I want to use the grain size appropriate for my rod which is a fast action 12wt. Im 4 or 5 years into fly fishing and just getting use to the grain size vs wt size. I will buy something else like maybe that heavy 10 wt line but i really don't want to buy something that dosn't work out so i wanted to see what you guys said. Thanks!
-
Isn't generally above around 380 grains for a rod bigger then a 12 wt?

This lure is great but for some reason I hate the fact that googans that catch giant bass on them and they think they are fishing gods lol. Nice fish! Was that on the west coast?

Line memory. Or maybe I should also ask peoples experiences with tropical line in colder water. Seems to be a mixed bag of answers when it comes to that.
