I tie bass leaders up as follows: 18inches 40lb maxima chameleon, 18inches 30lb maxima chameleon, 18inches 20lb maxima chameleon, 2-3feet of 15lb maxima clear. Chameleon is supposed to be stiffer, and the heavy butt will really turn over a fly.

-- Really though, a la turbineblade above, it doesn't matter. I just really like tying leaders, and I don't get to fish to much so I get my cheap thrills buying spools and tying knots in my kitchen. The leader setup above does noticeably outperform my old setup of slapping together 2-3 random lengths of 20lb to 10lb trilene, but anything in the middle should be fine. Also blood knots between different colored mono looks really cool, which is essential.

Looking for a short fly rod(s) for fishing around cover/structure for largemouth bass, snakeheads and stripers from a canoe and kayak. Has anyone had a chance to fish the Sage Bass rods and the Recon 7'11" 8 or 9wt? Does one hold an advantage over the other? Is one better with sink tip line? I've read more reviews of the Sage rod, but like the warranty and proximity of Orvis stores. Is a 9wt overkill for this application? I use a 9' 7wt for smallmouth, but would prefer not to beat that rod up in the boat and pulling large fish from weeds. Also, do folks have a preference for line or leaders with rods like this? Thanks!
