[QUOTE="Lando, post: 315359, member: 7546"] I really like those Decivers and Bunny leeches. How bad are those leeches to toss? I have heard that they get heavy due to the bunny soaking up a lot of water. I tie mostly with bucktail and flash, but have found some synthetics like SF fiber that really are nice to work with and shed water like a dream. I also have started using some snowrunner (Nayat) hair an that stuff is super sexy. Here are a few I tied up last night on that 2/0 swimbait hook using Nayat and bucktail. [ATTACH=CONFIG]47319._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]47320._xfImport[/ATTACH] I have a long way to go with this pattern. As for the size of a rod, I fish everything from a 7 wt. to a 12 wt. I know I should throw smaller flies a lot of the time, but those big ones are so addicting. The line I mostly use is the SA Sonar Intermediate line. I do have floating line along with a some full-sink line when I need to get down deep or fish very fast. I picked up the new Sonar Musky line for the lady, but we haven't had a chance to fish it just yet. Anyway, thanks for the kind words. It is always nice to talk/dream about pike......even in the dead of winter. [/QUOTE]
