Totally agree with John. You will find others that use a 5-weight, but I use my 8-weight 90 percent of the time and a 7-weight the rest. A few reasons--1) the Potomac is big water, 2) it is fast water, 3) often accompanied by big winds, 4) an American or bigger striper is always a possibility, AND 5) you may enjoy fishing two flies and land several doubles a year.

8 weight.
Sent from my iPhoneI'd like to buy a spare spool for either my 5wt or 8wt reels and string it with sinking line for the Shad run. I've never fished for shad before and I was wondering which rod (and subsequent reel) yall think would be better.--
