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.


RW,

Have you used the sharkskin in a 5 weight doing NF of the Clearwater
type fishing? If so, what do you think and would you recommend it?

If others have had experience with the Sharkskin, I would like to here
what you have to say about it.

TIA,
JT


It's all I use on fresh water rigs (4, 5, 6, 7). I love the way it
casts, but to me its forte is mending. Very easy to mend while
nymphing or drifting a dry fly. Its floatability is also excellent.
Takes awhile to get used to the buzz of the line going through the
guides, but no biggy really. I highly recommend it, but its price can
scare ya! d;o)
