Frank is right Dave.... BACKBONE. IMO, Sage has more backbone for the
lifting involved with big false albies. That said, for your all around
use, and the fact you already own a 7wt, I'd jump two weights and get
the 9wt. which is good for the smaller albies, redfish, stripers,
bones. etc.

Thanks Walt and Frank. A 9wt it will be. Already have the reel picked
out - a Hatch 7+ or 9+.
