Ray,

Good point. I typically use leader/tippet that are 2x the lenght of the rod so on my 10 ft rods, I'll start with 22-25 ft leaders.

As for WF vs DT, ... I use DT most of the tme and my work horse rods are 4, 5, 7's and 9's (wt).

I like the DT for the presentation, mending and other line control stuff. I also Roll cast a lot and prefer the DT for that. I have some WF on the smaller wt's, but I'll use them when it's a tad breezy and I don't want to change rods. As for using WF to cast bigger flies, I prefer changing rods.

My 0.02$ anyway ...
