Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} tippet, leaders, and spinning line

Thanks guys!  Sounds like for anything delicate, I should stick to tippet, but I can pick up some spinning mono for salt and big fish.

Most people won't go through 300 yards of any specific size tippet in their lifetime.  Also considering the shelf life of some mono if it doesn't sit in an area with no direct sunlight, it usually is easier to just buy the spools of tippet.  Most of mine last more than a full season.

 

And fishing 4x for tailwater midges just sounds silly.

Almost exclusively. Vicious, Berkeley vanish, and seagur (sp?). 

 

I don't throw small flies that often. Ill have a spool of fly shop 4x for tail water  midges.

Curious if anyone uses spinning line as a substitute for leaders or tippet.  Is this fly fishing taboo?  It seems about 10x cheaper, and for less picky fish I wonder if it makes a difference.
