I was reading a earlier thread that you wrote about using a 4 foot leader. How much tippet do you use with system?

As much as you need. Depth wise. Current wise.

leader . tippet here
-----------------/________

In general, when fishing dries, a 4ft. leader and a 1 1/2 to 2 ft. tippet section, usually 5X or 7X( dries).
Floatie is right, though, if I'm trying to fish deep water or fast current I go with a longer tippet section and a beadhead......but rarely longer than 2 1/2 ft. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif Hope I answered good enuf.
