A rod with half bending and tip action, somewhat longer, from 8-9 feet, for better control of nymph swimming action, is most suitable for this type of fishing. It is used with a Weight Forward lines* number 4 or 5. In most cases it is floating, but in some cases when you need to fish in very large depths, it can be useful to have a floating model with a sinking tip.
Leader plays an important role in nymph fishing. Its length and diameter, which have a great effect on the nymph presentation, depend also on the fishing pressure, the depth of the fishing location, water clarity, speed of the water current, weather conditions (good or poor lighting). They are generally rather long, from 4-5 meters.
Their tip is also thinner and longer than in other flyfishing tecniques: 1-2 meters in diameter from 0,10 mm to 0,14 mm. For those who make their own leaders, we advise the usage of stiff monofilament line for the upper part of the thicker diameter, without memory, of Maxim type, while for more sophispticated diameters is better the soft monofilament line such as Quartz- Mitchell.
