Where can I buy 9X tippet?

[joseywales]

Too soon???

 

[delta_dog]

Not even funny guy!

 

[joseywales]

I've never met a better bunch of guys, so welcoming and helpful. Just trying to add some levity.

 

[SBecker]

I prefer 12x

 

[BelAirSteve]

Just check your shrubs in the summer time and pull out some freshly spun spider webs ;-)

 

[joseywales]

Wait, wasn't that Maurice who wrote that he finds his leader material in the trash cans and parking lots. He's my idol!

 

[Chaz]

I seldom ahve a need for anything smaller than 6X! But I will use 7X during the trico spinner falls.

 

[joseywales]

I know it Chaz!

I was just trying to add levity and let these guys know how unique I believe this forum truly is and how lucky we all are.

 

[SBecker]

If you know me, you are not lucky.

Whydontcha just check Foxy George's trash can....... ;-)

Keeping it simple as most of you know my level of fishing and I like to keep it simple until I get more experience:

For the majority of fishing I would be doing right now (trout with you guys and WW locally for blue gills, rock and SM bass) what is the average length I should try to keep my leader and tippet?

 

[pete41]

streamer fishing-about 4 feet.
dry fly-?

 

[SBecker]

9-12ft......that is what I use for trout. Smb, bluegills, and WW fish can be shorter. Especially if you are using streamers.

That's right, I was a 9X Tippet-a-holic but I've admitted it and am now on the road to recovery! :hammer:

 

[joseywales]

I showed fox today how easy it is with 7X...

Seriously though, 6x would have been better, for ME. Damn, can I tie a knot with a rod!!

 

[The_Sasquatch]

12x with size 45 midges. Oh yeah. Don't sneeze, or your tippet will snap.

 

[pete41]

You guys are so spoiled-lol
We old goats can remember when sas was right.
8x was 3/8lb wet test.Landed very few bigger than a sardine but at least you got some hits when they were midging.

 

[The_Sasquatch]

There you go folks. She was bought 9x tippet at Cabelas. Cabela is big store for fishing equipment AND accessories!

 

[joseywales]

Easy now...make note of the section you are in. Some folks are really new to all of this.

No worries...a new member, first post includes a coupon link and an add for a well known outdoor supplier big box store, I think I'm alright ;-)
