ok what leader/tippet would u advise to use with the rod?

I dunno Craig I think you're getting a bit technical here. The front of your head is called 'The face' - this part has subnames such as mouth and nose etc, and the sides of your head are kinda 'the ears' but apart from that, the only part of the head which has a name as such is really 'The brain' - which reminds me, where did you leave yours? On the bus to Northampton

I wouldn't go lighter than 6lb tippet.
