Fly rod and reel recommendations
Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2021 10:46 pm
Hi all,
I’ve fly fished previously in the UK, but now I am planning to get into saltwater fly fishing in WA, just joined the club also.
I have a Greys 9wt rod that I used in the UK for trout and was planning to use this inshore around Perth for snapper/skippy etc from my boat. Would this be suitable and what model reel would be recommended for such fishing?
I would also like to get a lighter rod/reel for use in the Swan/Mandurah for flathead/herring etc. Again recommendations on rod/reel would be appreciated.
Also any advice on where to buy fly gear for the above in Perth.
Cheers,
Michael
