Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Beer Tie

For shad?  Don't go with a 20-10-8 or any other tapered leader for a shad, full-sink set up.  The benefit of a tapered leader is completely trumped by the manner in which a full sinking line is laid out (at least to me, anyway).  You also don't want to use a long leader.  Just buy a depth charge type line and loop 12 inches of straight 8 pound mono to the end and you're set. 

For a floating line, the "Rob" style leader works very well.

Thanks for the input.  I think I'll use my 7wt TFO Lefty Kreh medium fast rod that I bought for smallmouth bass.  What would be a good inexpensive full sinking line g or it.  I will add Robs recommended 20#, 10#, 8# leader to it.  

I'm ready when you are Rob.  Listened to your pod cast.  I have most of what you recommended.
