The 9' 8wt Winston Saltwater Air is our first choice for the flats. Power to deal with tropical winds, finesse to present to spooky Bones, this rod does it all. Matched with either a Bauer RX3 or Hatch 7+ L/A Reel, and SA Amplitude Smooth Bonefish line, this outfit is a delight to fish with.

Premium GT Outfit
The 9' 11-wt Scott Sector is our recommendation for a CXI GT rod. Matched with a Hatch 11+ L/A Reel and SA Amplitude Big Water Taper line, this outfit is easier to cast all day than a 12wt, and still has enough power to subdue CXI GT's. Other 9' 11wt rods to consider: |

Always have a Back Up Rod!
Things can go wrong, particularly when fishing in saltwater. A back up rod is an essential item when travelling, as there is nothing worse than cutting your fishing short because you've broken your rod.
If your budget doesn't stretch to having 2 premium rods, an Orvis Clearwater fly rod is the perfect option for an inexpensive rod that still performs well.
I hope you don't need it, but you may thank me later...
