Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 5wt or 8wt for Shad?

I will disagree. When I started fishing for shad I started with the 8 because that's what people sad to use for the various reasons listed here. I honestly think it is overkill. Maybe not for the casting but for fighting the fish. Your odds if hooking a big striper are extremely slim so you are preparing for a situation that is very unlikely to occur. I do think a 5 is on the light side, but a quality 6 is perfect if you ask me. Given your choice I would go five unless you are really interested in stripers.
