Okay, Gents.
Got the Rod. Got the Line. (Thanks Sean... BTW, who do I send it to when I'm done?) Got backing and a reel to put it on.
Now I need a leader. Target is steelhead, standard flies are big weighted stones and #6 - #1 traditionals...
I carry two Loop Tippet Dispensers in my vest, with .017 through 5x in them. Do you have any leader formulas? I figure it will be at least 15' long, so this is what I was thinking:
4 feet of .017
3 feet of .015
3 feet of .013
2 feet of .010
4-6 feet of 2X
or do I just do a straight fifteen feet of 1x or 2x?
Your sage advise and collective wisdom is appreciated!
