>>2534560Thanks for the advice, I wasn't sure about the reel size but that does seem to be a more sensible option.
>>25345636 and 8 weight are terms specific to fly fishing right? the only type of fishing i've done before was sea angling on the shoreline with my grandpa when I was young so i'm more familiar with a conventional reel and using a relatively large rod.
Would you recommend fly fishing over going for a normal setup?
