That rod and line will handle flies between sz. 6 and 2/0, basically covering most everything you'd likely to use in the Chesapeake. 1/0 deceivers and clousers being likely canidates. It will do a good job of throwing poppers for largemouth and smallmouth also. A sinking line would be good to add to your arsenal for the stripers, weakfish, croakers, blues etc....You've got a good starting point, some time on the water will tell you a great deal more about what you need. I bet you'll hear a lot more chatter when it gets to the Susky flats catch and release season. Make sure your casting is up to snuff before you try to cast weighted flies like clousers (dumbell eyes), they can be a bear and dangerous to your rod and yourself
