fenwick iron thread 50 lb.....and 15 lb leader.......yep everywhere.

I remember from reading West Coast Steelheader that a #2 Gammie hook would bend before an 8 lb Maxima line breaks.  So, if a leader is always well maintained, I guess no need to use anything heavier than an 8 lb Maxima for a #2 Gammie hook.

Do anyone know what would be the corresponding line for a #1 Gammie hook?

Have been using UG 10lb main and 8lb leader on a M/L setup with good success.

12 Seaguar Invisix Flourocarbon, dirty or clear water. Seaguar in my opinion is the best flouro out there, doubt i'll ever use a mono leader again.

As my steelheading was in a doldrums lately, I picked up a 200 yd spool of 12lb Seaguar Invisx and used it as leader during my last 2 outings.
All I can say is this stuff is really good.
It's soft to give natural bait presentation and knot strength is also excellent.
I landed a 12 lb in rapids and a 14lb combat fishing in the lower river in the last few days.
Thanks hue-nut.
