Our Shop Choice 8 weight outfit is a hand-picked selection of what we feel is the best value in mid-priced gear. This is ideal gear to learn on and also an excellent moderately priced outfit for those who have been fly fishing for years. It is perfect for chasing inshore saltwater fish, such as bonefish, redfish and snook, and also works well for largemouth bass. Add a handful of flies, and you’ll be ready to go fishing!

The shop choice outfit includes a machined aluminum Redington Rise reel, a high end Rio Bonefish Quickshooter or Redfish line and a saltwater safe Rio Predator fly rod with lots of power and a great feel. The rod comes with a cordura covered tube and the reel comes with a reel pouch.

This outfit includes:

• Redington Predator 9′ 8wt Fly Rod
• Redington Rise 7/8 Fly Reel
• Rio Premier Bonefish Quichshooter or Redfish fly line, WF8F
• 20# Dacron Backing (color may vary)
• Rio 10′ 12# Bonefish Leader

Note: Reel color may vary based on inventory available at the time of purchase.

Selecting the Right Outfit:

We offer several 8 weight outfits at different prices and levels. Each outfit represents what we believe is the best value at that price. The Redington Crosswater is ideal for those on a budget who are just getting started. The Field Kit comes with a higher price tag but includes an upgraded warranty as well as higher quality components and a feel that more advanced anglers will appreciate and beginners will grow into. We put together the Shop Choice outfit to represent what we feel is the optimal mix of price and value. These are great for everyone from the absolute beginner to intermediate and advanced fly anglers. We hope one of these outfits will meet your needs.
