a couple more questions, would you recommend a bonefish floating or sinking line. Is a fluorocarbon leader a better choice? also what length of leader would you suggest (9ft, longer?), tapered to what "x" tippet?. Locally I fish for trout and some of the browns I catch are quite large (20" to 27"), so 3x tippet is what I often use. As you can imagine this is all new to me, and while I will not be buying a huge selection of salt gear, I would like to get something that will give me a fighting chance.
