welcome, if the fish in your avatar is your biggest on fly so far, you came to the right place.
Might have to upgrade a bit from an 8wt though. There is a few people here who owns a bit of fly gear, so you should get some good advice when needed.
Just dont get any of those big bulky Mako reels.......


This is the biggest one, also Tonga.



Have upgraded the trout gear last year to an 8wt Xi2 and SA Sytem 2large arbour reel (890) with an extra spool.  I have a bunch oflines/shooting heads for this.  It doubles as my saltfly and tongarirosetup.

The one spool is setup with 300yards 50lbd backing, 50ld rioslickshooter and 3 heads, floating, intermediate and Type 8.  The type8 is almost to heavy for the 8wt and I will try using it on my old 10wtfor the bigger stuff.  The 10wt is a Cabelas one so it can besacrificed...LOL

I do need a 10/12 reel and extra spool sometime in the future for whenI buy a 12wt.  But I won't do that until I know where and how to getkingi's regularly.  Not sure what reel or rod  either.

That sounds good to me Finatic...look forward to having a fish with you Big%20smile

Thanks Clark, I hope I will be meeting a bunch of people and doing lots of fishing!

Little Kingi(Trev) Jaapie?  It's one of my biggest saltfly fish so far Cry.  I caught it in Tonga in October last year on Atata Island.   Didn't do much fishing but was very happy with that one on an 8wt trout outfit with 100yards of 20ld backing and a 10lb tippet...it went like hell!!  Planning on going to Vavau at the end of August...spear and fly fishing with mates.  Should be great!

Never did go to Mozambique but spent a weekend at Mapelane on the east coast, north of Durban.  That was real good but a bit early for the shad.  Did manage more than the bait guys though...It really got to them...LOL
