thankyou as i am finding this a hard game
Fly rod is hands down an Orvis Zero Gravity Helios – even though it will set you back $750 I cannot think of a rod in all my years (35+)
of fly fishing that even comes close. If you want to spend alot less and still have a real good one think of the ECHO series of rods starting at $149.
Spinning – Any 5′6″ fast action rod made by St. Croix or Loomis will be
the absolute ticket for fishing all but the largest of rivers. On the large waters, go with a 7′ fast action of St. Croix or Loomis and you’ll be fine.
Can I use a 7/8 reel on a 6WT fly rod. If not then do I have to match the rod with a 6. I’m new to this sort of rig and dont really know the terminology well enough to select the right balanced outfit. Can someone help please

How Heavey Does The Rod And Reel Have To Be To Fish Off The Naples Fishing Pier. Is Spinning Outfits Preferr?
Naples FLA?
A 12-14LB combo would be fine.
You would need a Medium/heavy outfit that can “take” at least 200 yards of 12LB OR 180+ yards of 14LB.
Understand, you CAN catch fish in the “double digits” on ANY FLA pier. Your odds are “slim” but you certainly DON’T want to be the guy that hooks into a 35LB Red or Snook with a “Mickey Mouse” rod!
Here is an example of a good combo-
An Ugly Stik “Tiger Lite” 6′6″ Med/heavy rod matched to a Daiwa, “Black Gold” BG 20 reel.
Hope this gives you an idea of what to use? Good luck!
