I tried putting some BB split-shot sinkers on there but they kept sliding up and down my leader or just coming right off. I was told that I can get a loop-to-loop attachable sink-tip line which would probably fix this issue. I will be buying one of those, but this question is for a temporary solution!!

Thanks!

And my 3rd question.

3. Which leader should I go with. You pick one out from Cabela’s or LL Bean. Thanks!

Try to word your answer like; the line, then the backing, and then the leader. Thanks!!

Yes I do already have the tippet.
And if you need to know the species I’m after then here they are:

Snook (small to medium), Redfish, Speckled Trout, flounder, and other medium sized saltwater fish. Thanks for taking your time to read (sort of long) and answer my question. Thanks and have a great Holiday!
Sorry my weight is 9.

As I’m sure you can tell, I am new at salt water fly fishing.

I want to basically fly fish for blues and stripers while walking down the beach…casting lures with my penn spin reel has caused too much problems since the lures are light wieghted.

Also, if you can suggest types of line to use….and if buying a small gaff for retrieving the caught fish would be a good idea or not. ( I’m leaning towards yes on the gaff)

thanks in advance.

The leader looks like about 4lb mono. Can I get away with using regular fishing line, say 6lb test as leader?

I plan to use the rod for largemouth and smallmouth bass, and sunfish.

I just bought a leader at cabelas. It is a 6 pound leader that is 7.5 feet. It has a small loop at the end. What knot should I use to connect this with my main line?
