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

I've only used sharkskin on my 8wt and 12wt. If you do a lot of
stripping (which you do in sal****er) it's important to use a glove or
tape on your fingers. The line will rip your skin.

I had an asshole guide in Mexico who claimed that the noise the line
made was spooking fish. What bull****. It was just an excuse for not
getting me into many fish.
