Re: Welcome to your new forum!
Let's see if i can keep this simple: When I was a kid, we used simple old 4lb. test mono for leaders, no tippets, then tied on a fly. We fished for bass and crappie, etc, warm water fish. Now, going for trout, for obvious reasons we use a hopefully invisible tippet at the end of the leader. OK, fine. About leaders- there are of course all kinds. I was wondering how some of that really thin braided 20lb. test, greenish spinning real line would work for a leader? It's not suptle until it gets wet, and it's darn hard to cut, but it sure is cheaper.
I put on about 8 or 9 feet onto the end of my line, then tied about 3 feet of the aforementioned nylon mono and an old fly just for an inexpensive test in the back yard. Seemed to do mostly ok dry, but I'm not jumping up and down about this yet. Any comments?
