{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Cabo San Lucas and 10wt Suggestions?

You are going to enjoy that trip I spent a month chasing roosters out of La Riberia and Freiles Bay.  A few tips about what you will need to accomplish with the rod: 1.) if fishing for roosters from the beach you will need distance; intermediate line is fine if you feel you can push it into wind (lots of on shore wind in east cape) but weighted shooting line is appreciated as well. 2.) Tuna can blow ANYTHING up... even the small schoolies you will find under a flotilla will hold a few 40+ lbs so I would suggest having a cheap rod that you think is strong and can force the issue in the wind.  3.) warranty is key over the month I spent down there I broke a winston 10 wt, reddington 8 wt, and 2 orvis 8&10wt all ON FISH.

it is a great place, depending on timing I would suggest visiting the east cape... amazing place

I just booked a trip to Cabo and figured I should probably gear up sooner rather than later. I'm looking for a decent (read: cheap) 10wt to up my arsenal to handle some roosters, dorado, small tuna and the like.  I see some great deals online for some older Sage RPLX and RPLXis ($2-250) but have doubts on used gear for the warranty concerns.  I'm familiar with TFO's TiCr/x and Bluewater lines and would probably go that route if going new -- I have a TiCr 8wt that I really like.  Any guidance for specific rods this wayward fly slinger should consider test driving in the sub $250 range?

 

Also, I'm researching guides for an inshore and an offshore trip.  Anyone have some knowledge on guides in that neck of the woods?

 

Thanks.
