[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5649604, member: 19427"] 50 will turn over fine but it's overkill. Where are you fishing? If LA, you could run straight 50 and never spook a fish. If somewhere with more weary fish like Tampa Bay or Pine Island Sound, I would run 20lb flouro the whole way. Don't overthink it with redfish.... The fight is not long enough to justify some complex leader arrangement used in big game fishing like tarpon and pelagic species. Also, I wouldn't use anything too cheap.... Buy a spool of Ande mono or flouro... No sense is missing the fish of a lifetime over a few $. The key to your leader turning over generally has little to do with the type of leader and more to do with your technique. A clean double haul with tight loops will turn over a steel cable with a heavy fly. Others will disagree. [/QUOTE]
