Since I have the 8 wgt range pretty well covered and if things work out right for us the wife and I will do more ( never done it before) salt water fly fishing.

From the 8 wgt range...whats the next step? 10..?...12 wgt?? Size of course dictates rod blank...reel size...and a reel capable of handeling "X" wgt line along with ( unknown) yards of backing ( 30 lb?...20 lb?)

Present equipment Im told is OK for snook; red fish; sea trout and small tarpon.

Not interested in any "100 lb anything" ( or even larger...geeze)
