the perfect flats rig
so i'm new to flats and saltwater flyfishing, i am planning a trip to belize this summer for a grand introduction and hoping at a chance for bones, permit, and tarpon. i'm looking for some wisdom on setting up the best rig for all around flats fishing. a rod/reel/line set up to target bones, permit, and baby tarpon (plan to rent a rod for adult tarpon). not necessarily looking for brand names, but more what is the best set up, 8 wt, 9 wt?? right now i am leaning towards a fast action 8 or 9 weight. also, why do people over-line rods by a weight? is this recommended? what type of line would be best to target these species from the flats? do i need extra spools? thank you oh wise ones. your help is appreciated.
hey, careful man, there's a beverage here
