My bro lives in CA and wants to start SW fly fishing for Calico Bass, has anyone here successfully done it?
What would be a good set up? He's asking me to build him a rod. I was thinking of building him an 8wt 4pc 9ft Batson Rainshadow RX8. What type of line set up would he need (a full sink striper line? Something else?) if he did it from a small water craft like a kayak or casting from a boat? Also, decent reel recommendations? Nothing more than $250 for a reel.
I'm all ears...
