    Dudley is not wrong. That leader will turn over a big fly like butter. That said there are plenty of blokes using straight 20 and do just fine. Either a hand tied tapered leader or a long straight...

    That reminds me of my favorite fishing. High sun and stripers in the surf. Each wave is a magnifying glass to what lurks beneath what is hidden by the sun's glare.

    It really isn't the "rod" so much as it is the size of the flies and the wind. If...

    I agree with Greg. I have a 490-4 SLT (best rod ever IMHO). Just began fishing the mute green version of the SA Trout and think it is fantastic.
