Tapered Leaders
Tapered Leaders
Fly fishing Newbie?
I just got a fly rod & reel setup. This is the first time in 20 years I will try to fly fish.
There is a 8-9 foot tapered leader. I will be fishing for Bass and there maybe some 4+ lb fish I may catch. The leader seems awfully small at the end.
How strong is it and is the leader you adjust the length to achieve strength rating your are looking for?
Thanks
The leader that came with my new fly package (5 wt) was 4x. At the tippet it has a diameter of .007 in. and a test wt. of 5.7 lbs. If you bought a 5, 6 , or 7 wt. rod assume they packaged a 3x, or 4x leader. 3x being the stouter with a tippet diameter of .008 and test wt. of 7.3 lbs.
Next time your at the shop pick up a tapered leader and look on the back of the package. there should be a chart with test wt., and suggested bug sizes.
Check out MidCurrent.com. There’s a good tutorial on playing a fish you think is to big for your rig.
