Fly Leader

I need to know how to rig a spinning rod( and fly rod) for salt water?
mostly inshore like snook reds cobia and trout , ie do i need a leader on my spinning rod, what kind and how to rig. Also I have a 8 wt fly rod, what leader and tippet should i use. Any sugestions on flys would help too!
AIRFLOW pretty much answered the Q.
Here’s my 2 cents.
For Spinning- For inshore-saltwater Reds, Trout & Snook 12-14LB Mono or Flurocarbon (Berkely “Vanish”) works fine. I personally like to use 4LB/20 “Power Pro” Braided line with a leader of “Vanish” Flurocarbon.
Powerpro advantage? Distance in casting and quicker “sinking”. Plus it’s nigh’ impossible to “cut”, (Important to use a leader with Braids!). A leader of 12-17 LB line works well with a small black swivel.
Use a 1/4-1/2 OZ Jighead & live Shrimp or Mud-minnow for Reds ,Trout, Snook, Flounder, Weakfish, Drum & Sheephead.
For artificial- Berkley “Gulp” products are excellent , as well as, Yozuri Crystal Minnows & wide wobble Spoons in gold.
Cobia are generally “offshore critters”. However, you might see one nearshore down South, (Boca-Keys).You would need a “boatrod” (spinning or conventional) and either 25-40 LB Mono or 20LB/40 Braided line, (depending on the size). They love eels and small bluecrab rigged to larger Jigheads. They are very “visual” and in “clear water” will sometimes “snub” any riggs that don’t look “kosher”.
I tend to make my own leaders for saltwater flyfishing. Because you get “snagged” frequently and “cut-off” by “toothy” saltwater critters it can be expensive to go buy a bunch of leaders, (on a bad day you will have to retie flys & leaders numerous times!).
A good idea is to buy some 10 LB Vanish, 12 LB Mono, and 14 LB Mono. Attach these together in 3 ft segments with a Bloodknot ,(or similiar knot), and VIOLA! Here’s Johnny!
Make up 5 or 6 for a trip and your set.
Clousers in green/white, white, white/red, white/mylar strip, are excellent flys to fish with. You should also have a couple “critter flys” like a Umpquas “Andersons McCrab” and some Seaducers, Bendbacks & Cochroaches.
Make sure to wear “bootys” if you intend to wade in the Keys/Down South.
Hope this helps? Good luck!
