saltwater flyfishing - advice needed!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to saltwater fly fishing and I need a little help on a typical setup for sea trout. :oops:

1 - What breaking strain of leader?
2 - What length of leader? ( My rod is 10.5ft #7/8 )
3 - Tapered leader or just "straight from the spool"?
4 - Weight Forward or Shooting Head?
5 - Floating line or intermediate?
6 - Are "polyleaders" recommended?

Thank you
Jonathan

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
