Default Spinning reel for bonefish

I plan to do some flyfishing for boenfish in Belize next spring, but because
I may not have the accuracy required, I also plan to try spincasting. What
is the appropriate rod and reel combination for bonefish? What spinning
reels have the best drags? What weight and brand line to use?

Steve

steven I would recomend a 7 ft rod in the 6-12lb range why such a
long rod? you will be able to throw a small jig,shrimp, or crab very
far and accurate.spinning reels nothing but a Shimano best drags on the
market hands down. I would also recomend Fireline I use 14lb you can
put a mile of line on your reel and it will cast a mile... Belive me I
do it every day to make my living Thank You Larry
