Thanks for your replys. Correction - I have a 8wt-9ft rod.
Anyway, I've been using the wrong discription I think.
My limited experiance with Snook indicates they have a very rough mouth (not teeth) and when they take the bait 3 or more inches into their "throat" the mouth abraids the leader a few inches above bait and I use a 30# leader material on 10# test spinning line to prevent the abrasion from breaking the line.
So, If I use my fly fishing rig can I use the 30# leader as a tippet and use the same plastic jerk baits or some salt water flys I bought?, How about a plug?
It has been very windy for days here because of Noel so I have not been able to get out or I would have just gone and tried it. I'm trying to use my "shut in time" constructively with you the experts so when I get a chance to try I'll be a leg up.
Thanks for your help.
