Have you noticed that your french long line leader system shreads the fly line its attatched to? After awhile you may as well throw it away. I use an evo #3 with my greys streamflex 10 ft 3 wt. I now have an extra spool which I am going to put backing on and fill up the rest with 20 lb mono. From there , leader sighter and tippet. "No mo Rio fo me!"
