Re: 2023 Steez “Real Control” Rods
Personally I don’t have any use for super long leaders and all I fish on them is braid to fluoro with FG knots. The longest I recommend going is keeping the knot between the reel and the first big stripper guide where your finger is still on the braid when you are casting. The rod will straighten out on the swing and the knot will pass through just fine. Otherwise just run a 12–18” length that stays completely out of the guides when casting (this is what Fujita was doing with the 30# braid and 16# leader, though he typically fishes the lighter PE lines elsewhere).
Personally I haven’t had any trouble with leader knots but I’m typically fishing 0.6PE and 5-15# range leaders (and hence the knot is very small).
