How do i determine the size of leader and tippet when setting up my Fly reel for large flies.

[@lifliesmike]

What weight rod are you using. For larger flies on my 9 or 10 wt rod and intermediate or sinking line I make a simple leader. 30,40 or 50 lb section about 4-5' long with a double surgeons loop to the fly line, then blood knot to blood knot to 20 lb fluro about 3-4' long If you fishing big flies like beasts and slammers, you can just use a straight piece of 40 or 50 about 5-6 long
