Well we are in the season of heads on the rivers for steelies.
Just wondering what length of leader/tippet others are running.
I have never found steelies to be very leader shy.Generally on my fast sinking heads I will use a short 25lb butt and go straight to 10 or 12 tippet.
On a very " technical" day, I might run an intermediate section in there.
Usual length is 36 to 48 inches. No sense putting a long leader on a sinking line and have it float up and out of the strike zone.
