9 wt. is sort of the “standard” for this type of fishing down here. That redfish is pushing 9lbs., and is pure stubborn muscle in 10” of water. Plus, when wading, you have to contol the fish with the rod when he is at your feet to land. I was next to Hunter when he caught that one, he hooked it with about 25’ of fly line out, and didnt start making line until the fish had all 100 ft of fly line and 100 yards or so of backing out against a properly set drag. They dont run with the speed of a bonefish, but they make it up in torque!!
