Peg leg is usualy the best bet for flossing, 3 ounce betty with 17 1/2 foot leader is what the pros use 8)

I've never seen anyone casting a 17' leader.

the standard length people like to use for leader is between 10-12max i can't see a 17.5 leader being any better than a 10' leader,i would think it's fairly hard to cast with something like that if your rod is only say 10'6" which most people tend to use.
