Thanks alot Kodiak..Ive been watching some videos on YouTube about muskie fishing it looks pretty fun, Ill have to try it someday. For now Ill have to learn the way of FLYFISHING. We do a lot of halibut fishing out of Whittier and Ive used casting rods for the reds and silvers around here but wanted to try something differend and more challenging. Anyways thanks again Tim -

Hello, Thanks to everyone on your input, and Kodiak are you in Alaska? Im from Eagle River just north of Anchorage. I just want to know a few other things, some more noob questions. I want to thank you all for your reel and line recomendations I'll be shopping around for some this weekend. Now onto the line part, some things I dont get, how do I get the line to sink down on a floating line? Do I go from backing - floating line - leader - sinktip - weighted fly? Thanks Tim -
