[QUOTE="Norske, post: 23418, member: 409"] I started fly fishing 'way back when a 7wt was considered the all-round rod. Due to improved rod materials, it's now 5wt. For pike, I use a 9' 9wt rod. I tie my own simple leaders consisting of 4 or 5 feet of cheap, stiff 60# mono that's sold in blister wrap in "mart" stores. the tippet is a few feet of 20 or 25# fluorocarbon[U] leader[/U] material, which pike can't bite through. Since knotting that leader is a pain, I use a black crosslock snap to hold the fly, most often a Clouser minnow. For a good comparison test of fly rods, check out YellowstoneAngler.com. See you on the Devils Lake shallows. [/QUOTE]
