Yeah, I'm clear on the butt section and I do have the size (s) recommended for my 8wt but what I'm wondering is if whould tie just the 9' of 40pound test to my fly line or maybe taper it to 30 and then 20 or so. In that case I might as well tie a leader.
I guess I sound I bit confused because...well, I am. I found out by understanding the LeaderCalc2007 that I knew less about leaders than I thought. Just by figuring out how to read the formulas there I learned a ton. I guess the difference now is that I'm not tying leaders for a 3, 4 and 5wt fly line.
Please be patient with me.
