Saltwater Fly fishing rods and reels.?
Can somebody tell me the best Saltwater fly fishing outfit. And the best line, backing, and tippets for saltwater. And once I get all this can I use the same stuff for freshwater fishing? Or should I change the line out? Or what? Thanks!!!!!!
I fish for Redfish, Pompano, Jack Crevel, Flounder, and lots more. I might want a 10 weight rod? Or will a 9 weight do it's job? I am trying to stay under $250. That's why I go for outfit's they cost less, and most the time they work just as well.
what type of tapered line should I get, If the outfit doesn't come with good enough line?
Firstly no i dont recommend that you use the same fly rod for fresh as for salt because of the fact for fresh water they are generally allot lighter also i would recommend a 9wt rod for saltwater for playing fish such as bone fish, saltwater reels have to be large arbor design and able to hold allot of fly line and a good 100yds of backing in fact the more the better for playing big fish, for rods for saltwater i use sage, when it comes to reels i any make will do and as for fly line you cant go far wrong with this

Any tippet material will do so long as its over 10lb i like florocarbon for this especially sightfree g3. You dont need any fancy tapers for saltwater fly fishing a simple weight forward will do
