FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions
1

"What Fly Rod Size Should I Buy?"

8 weight (or "8wt") is usually the answer if you aren't sure. Great for most saltwater species, especially Bonefish & Redfish

9wt is awesome for Permit and larger Redfish, along with being very popular for Striper

10wt is your go-to big Permit rod and light Tarpon option

11wt is the gold standard for Tarpon

12wt is for BIG Tarpon and Giant Trevally (GT) or light offshore use.

- Don't see your fish species here? This is just a very simplified overview but call us or email any time and we can help for any fish on the planet.

*Note: We don't usually recommend a 6wt or 7wt for beginners in saltwater (mainly due to wind). You can use one if you want but if you don't own an 8wt yet it is probably best to start with that. A 6wt or 7wt is a good crossover rod to use with both salt and freshwater, and in that case it definitely makes sense but you will likely be underpowered for windy conditions and many saltwater fish species so keep that in mind.

"Is All of This Stuff In Stock?"

  • We stock the vast majority of what you see here.
  • You will not be charged if something you buy is not in stock or is unable to be fulfilled for any other reason.
  • Sometimes unique items sell out or something is just a little backordered with the manufacturer. This is the nature of the fly fishing industry.
  • Call us any time for assistance or to confirm inventory and shipping times. Let us know if you have a trip coming up very soon.
  • This year we have witnessed a big cutting back in production by fly fishing brands which means much less inventory for everyone. Please plan accordingly and buy well in advance of any trip you are planning.

We stock the vast majority of what you see here. Sometimes we sell out of unique items (custom color fly reels usually) or less popular products we don't keep as much inventory for, or certain products that are just a little tougher to get but we never charge you for something we don't have in stock, don't worry. We have been dealing with supply chain issues for the past several years so we are getting good at it. Most fly rods we sell are now back in stock consistently from manufacturers, along with many of the fly reels we carry. We highly suggest taking our gear recommendations, especially when it comes to alternative options. We are here to help.

"My trip is on Friday but I don't want to pay for expedited shipping"

All our customers have a trip coming up soon, so we want to be fair to everyone. If you need something fast we suggest calling us first to check if we have time to ship it by 5pm. We also suggest selecting the fastest shipping method you would like at checkout (that doesn't mean how fast we ship it, it means how fast it gets to you once we are able to ship). The best choices are UPS Overnight and 2nd Day Air. Please keep in mind we are not Amazon Prime, we are a highly specialized saltwater fly fishing operation with a lot of orders to get through every day - "Free Shipping" is not "Fast Shipping," it is regular Ground and everything is shipped in the order it is received. Expedited shipping (paid) gets priority, if possible.

"Which Fly Line is Best?"

Depends on what you are doing. Rio makes it super easy, they put the picture of the fish right on the box. Scientific Anglers puts the name of the fish, if it is a Bonefish, Redfish, or a Tarpon - for Permit the Grand Slam series is tremendously popular as well. You can ask us any questions you like and we are happy to help.
