Hello everyone, I am new to Singapore and I am looking for some good saltwater spots to try some fly. I am from Australia and am living here for a year. I am also new to fly fishing, having only been doing it for the last ten months. I got my first Peacock bass this afternoon and it was a blast.
I am writting to ask if anyone knows if a six wt rod is suitable for light salt as well as the bass. I am using a seven wt at the moment but it is a slow actioned slightly too heavy rod and I am looking to buy a new one. I can cast about 70 feet on a good cast with this rod. Could I do better with a more responsive six wt?
In Australia, in my home town, I chase GT's up to about four kg and Queenfish to about two kg and Australian bass to about one kg. there are also a lot of small tuna and spotted mackeral on the close reefs. could I stop a two kg tuna on a six wt? Any advise will be much appriciated thanks guys. ;D
