10wt sal****er rig
Thanks to everyone (well, nearly everyone) for the input. It's between
the Sage Xi3 and the Sage Z-Axis. I'll try them head-to-head. BTW, as to what the 10wt is for, on my upcoming trip to Andros it will be for throwing lage flies to barracuda. Next time I go to the Seychelles it will be for milkfish. One of these days I'd like to try some offshore fishing for albies, dorado, etc., and I'd really like to catch some large roosterfish. |

I think your choice just got easier sine I don't think the Z-axis comes in a 10, but I wish it did. A ten is typically considered a Permit rod. |

I think you're right (just looked at Sage's web site), but I'm 99.99% sure that they USED to offer the z-axis in a 10wt, and quite recently. Maybe it's discontinued. Maybe I can get a deal on one. :-) |

First of all, you're warm (usually). The wading usually isn't difficult, and if necessary you can arrange to fish from the boat. (Best to find a willing partner or pay for a guide for yourself -- most bonefishermen prefer wading, I think.) One of my Seychelles guides told me about a paraplegic Frenchman who had a great time -- caught lots of bones. I fished with a guy for a week at Alphonse Is. who was about 82 years old and not very steady on his feet. He took a couple of spills, but generally did just fine. (BTW, he's fished everywhere I've ever heard of, and then some.) |
