[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5650168, member: 19427"] I realized my original post on this thread could be misleading. When I said run 20lb the whole way, I meant there is no need for multiple knots. Run 6 feet of 30lb to 3ft of whatever you are going to attach to your hook and you’ll be fine. The flies you are using are generally heavy enough to not need a fancy taper and unless you are sight fishing shallow spooky fish your leader doesn’t need to be longer than 9ft. Stretch your leader before casting and you’ll be fine. The only time I recognize a difference is tarpon fishing with a super long leader and a really light fly. The benefits of a more complex hand-tied taper make a difference in this scenario. [/QUOTE]
