Hey Saltydog,
I ordered an 8wt. white river classic from Bass Pro Shops. The reel is their conservationalist model.
Its a nice little starter outfit and should be fun with schoolies.
The outfit ships with a weight forward floating line (bright green). Not sure how stripers react to the flyline. I'm not crazy about the color... I always fished with more natural colors for trout and always use invisible green mono in my casting and spinning. What's your take on flyline color?
What about leader length in the salt? I was figuring on tying some 9 ft. leaders with an 8lb. tippet section... maybe tying on a short shock leader of 15-20lb if I'm around heavy structure ... does that sound right? I'm really just guessing.
Thanks again.
