Tarpon Fly
need some advice on a good med- to heavy action fly rod?
something suitable for saltwater fishing ie. snook,tarpon,striped bass
generaly when fly fishing im fishing trout so my gear is fairly lite
Fisher_King is right - that's a good rod for the price. Reddington is owned by Sage, just that they are built overseas - the quality if good for the price. The Cabela's XST is another decent fly rod for under $200 and I have had no issues with sending Cabela's products back - they stand by their products. Orvis makes some wonderful salt water rods
such as the T-3 ( about $425) and of course the ZG Helios which just may be the absolute nuts, but is quite pricey at $ 750 or so. It does weigh in considerably less than all others which will reduce fatigue.
IMO - the 9 wt rod is the way to go
It is of my opinion that salt water rods should be fast action ( or tip flex) because of the speciaized taper flyline + the size of the flys you'll be using -
You'll need a saltwater reel - don't skimp here. All good reel mfgrs make salt water reels, from Ross to Orvis to Galvan. Fishing for larger fish I would reccomend a large arbor reel with a proven drag system
( Orvis Battenkill large Arbor for $239) to over $600 for an Abel ot Tibor
OK, now pick up some saltwater flyline ( Cortland, Airflow, SA, Rio - any decent brand) and put backing on you reel and you're ready to go.
