[9 / 2 / ?]
My lady has taken a genuine interest in my biggest hobby. She has been reading books and watching videos and is actually starting to say smart shit to me which is kinda terrifying. Anyway, we need to get her a fly rod. I own a 9 and 7 weight. My 7 weight is a TFO BVK 9 footer with a Lamson Liquid reel and a rio grande line and I just don't trust her to use it yet because I'm kinda poor and I suspect she will break it at some point. My 9 weight is simply too much to handle for her and she will mainly be doing freshwater anyway. We live on the Texas coast. I want to get her a 5 weight but also feel like if she wants to try saltwater she will end up snapping it on a red or speck. I need rod/weight recommendations. Would you guys be confident enough in a 6 weight in salt marshes?
