I like your leadesrs fly goddess. I tyed a few 7 1/2(4x) here my idea was to tie a leader that might work well in mildly windy conditions. One place I fish often has 5 to 10 mph winds. Sometimes worst. This was for a 4/5 wt.
24" .21
10" .19
10" .17
10" .15
6" .13
6" .10
6" .009
18" .007(4x)
It cast pretty well, with good turn over. However I think I might try one starting(butt side) at .19(25ibs) for the 4wt and see how it does.
I'm also thinking about a 5 footer for windy days.
Oh BFW that sounds crazzy... bet it works well for permit though. Never fished them, but always wanted to try. I'm more of a trout/smalli, and crappy kind of guy.... lol
