Want to use new 8wt on old red in the neuse near minnesott beach. What was the rig for popping cork on a fly. A little foam and 12 inch leader then a clouser? Thanks for any help
Agree with Trigger on this one for sure. I know occasionally bull reds are caught on light tackle, but most light flyrods just don't have the backbone to do what is needed to pull in searing runs. You will need a couple hundred yards, 250 yards or more would be better, backing on your reel, a good strong drag and a good rod.I would go with 18-20 inches between the foam and the clouser tied on a 3/0 or 4/0 hook. I also strongly suggest stepping up to a 10 or 12 wt.
