| Andover, MA/ Andover NH Posts: 18 | I'm looking for a new salt water/big trout fly rod. My friend suggested a Colton Tradewinds 9 Weight Saltwater Fly Rod and it looked pretty nice. I think that I would like a 9 wt. but i'm open for suggestions. | |

| Palmyra PA Posts: 1053 | An owner of a saltwater shop recommended the Temple Fork saltwater models to me once when I was thinking about getting a bigger rod. I have only done a little fishing in the brine, and my 8 weight has been sufficient for what I did, but if I ever move close to the shore this is probably the rod I'll buy. | |

| Northwest PA Posts: 79 | How much do you wanna spend? TFO has some awesome rods for the salt. TiCrX is a cannon and TiCr is a nice rod. I can't think of any trout that you'd need a 9wt. for though. Mike | |

| Hollidaysburg Pa Posts: 170 | I bought a tfo pro last year in an 8wt for salt and it worked great. I think it was about $150. An 8wt should be fine for fish up to 20#. I do have a friend who regularly plays in the salt and he just bought a sage Xi2 it's a very sweet rod if you want to part w/ about $700. However I think it would be a little stiff for freshwater.
