What's your idea for a good bonefish rod/reel? *


I use a 4-piece 8wt Sage Z-Axis tip action with a 9wt sharkskin line
and an Abel Super 8 reel. Works for me.


I was thinking about a Loomis GLX, 8wt, 9 foot. It gets pretty good
reviews and I have own/fished with a number of Loomis' rods over the
years and have always been very satisfied. Wellllll... the same could
be said about Sages and Winstons...d;o) I agree with your choice of a
reel.

All of this is still in the "dreaming" stage, but fishing bones in some
far-off tropic isle has always been on my "bucket list".

Thanks for your input.
