[NewFlyFisher]

Thanks for the input.

This pretty much supports my plan to use a product like this for my first attempt. I also appreciate the comment on the difficulties which a new caster might have using a full weighted line approach. By using the weighted leader, I could use a little further input on how to set this up.

Keeping in mind that I will primarily use this for trout (possible whitefish or goldeye) in small lakes/ponds or the occasional fast flowing stream:
- how does a person prep the back end of this?
- does a person use another leader or go straight to a longer tippet?
- or if a leader should be used, how long?...connect with a loop or knot?....does it need to be tapered or just use monofilament?....etc.
- how long should the tippet be?.....what type of connection to leader?

I hope I am not putting anyone off by asking all these questions. I have searched the forum quite extensively, however, am trying to validate that I am putting all the good info together correctly.

Thanks
Larry
