That four weight can be a blast. You are going to love it I bet. What is it? Fast action, medium action?
I am not getting the Butt section and tippet concept however. I was hoping Riverdog would pipe in.
Butt section being the stiffest portion of a leader, I just see 6X tippet or even 5X just hinging bad off a butt section.
I am spoiled by furled leaders though.
I haven't been fishing for trout lately, but the Carp get way spooked. I am fishing canals that are very narrow and limiting casting big time, but the leader is getting my fly right on target. 5' furled and 3' of tippet.
