You will not feel overgunned with an 8 weight on saltwater fish, compared the 7 weight. I would estimate that an 8 weight is about the equivalent of a medium-light, 6-pound-test spinning outfit in terms of how powerful it feels when fighting fish. Even little redfish and more moderate trout put up r...

For a loop knot, I really like Lefty Kreh's non-slip loop. Easy to tie, and doesn't open or close.

I thought he wanted a handout, but he didn't--he chased me around my kayak 3 times, in thigh-deep water, no less. I'm ...
