How to choose a Saltwater Fly Leader! - Intro to Saltwater Fly Fishing Episode 6

It’s an easy case to make that the leader and tippet is the most critical aspect of the tackle system. After all, the leader completes the cast, and the tippet actually presents the fly. This is an easy place to get confused and overthink. Let me help you with that…

Thank you, saltwater fly fish here in the UK and have found your videos very useful.

Very good one!!

Here in new Zealand, we just use a piece of 9ft mono, not tapered.
Not great for transfer of energy and landing flat but still doable by a hard wrist stop on forward cast and saves the headaches of tippet

Great video series, can't wait to stop in and hopefully catch some fish in a few weeks

Was the final episode (fly selection) in this series ever released? These have been very helpful.

Do you have a solution to smoothing a loop to loop connection. Mine keeps getting caught in the top guide. Was going to try shrinkwrap tubing. Video?

Ditching the loop and tying direct to fly line to attach leader butt?
