There are so many people who think that you need to bring everything in your skiff. But my set-
up is very simple. I like it that way because having few gears allows me to just target any fish
effectively, in whichever water I choose to be in.
So today, I will be telling you about the fly rods which I have when fishing, whether that’s in the
Keys or the Everglades.
I want mine to have double purposes since all which I have now has that feature. I also prefer
that all which I use have a similar feel so it’s not so hard to shift from one to another.
These are what I use now when I’m out on a day trip: a Maverick 18 Hpx-v and a Maverick 17
Hpx-S. With a permanent marker, I write the weight of the rod on the cork grips so that it’s
easier for my clients to get that which I asked them to get. I also use the Rio Ridge Clear fly lines
on the rods. This rod system is one of the most favored specifically for our clients, especially
those recreational anglers.
I also don’t bring more than two clients out on a trip since it’s better to have one client do the
job while the other sits, switching off throughout the day trip.
Another rod I have is the G Loomis GLX Classic 9wt. This measures nine inches, has Tibor
Everglades and, finally, the Rio Ridge Clear line.
This is one amazing rod, especially for bonefishing. I attach a leader that is tapered down to a
fluoro measuring 12 pounds. The Ridge Clear fly line gives me about 15 inches clear floating but
the rest of it is still colored for easy fly tracking.
Another rod I always have with me is the G Loomis Pro 1 10wt, particularly for tarpon and
permit. I use this with a Tibor Riptide and (of course) a Ridge Clear line.
The next rod I bring is the G Loomis NRX Pro 1 12wt. This has a Tibor Signature. Depending on
the season and the location, I use an intermediate or the full floating. It is great for large
tarpon.
The Orvis Helios 2 7wt, this time with a Tibor Backcountry and a clear line, is the fourth rod I
carry with me. It is great for smaller bonefish. In clear and calm waters, it’s even possible to
catch the extremely spooky redfish.
The 8wt G Loomis Pro1 is what I use for snook fishing when I’m in the Everglades. I attach a
flyline by Rio Redfish and a Billy Pate reel here.
A customized 6wt Classic G Loomis IMX has a slow action, great for short casts in Everglades
creeks. Using this with a Ridge Clear line and a Tibor Tailwater reel, this super fun rod is perfect
for redfish and snook fishing.
On a regular day, I only have four, maybe five, rods with me. I leave the permit and bonefish
rods when I know I’ll be just in the Everglades and the 6 and 8 wts when I’m in the Keys. As I
said earlier, all I need is the simplest set-up!
Antabuse blocks an enzyme that is involved in metabolizing alcohol intake. Used as part of a treatment plan for problem drinking. Other remedies are used to treat inflammation caused by eczema. Likely every man has heard about viagra pills like pfizer viagra. Sometimes men who drink excessively like marijuana find it difficult to get an erection and turn to erectile malfunction remedies.
