Sorry I didn't get to this earlier. We were having a good bite in SC and decided to do some night fishing before the flight home.
As far as the weed guards go, I prefer to go lighter than the 20lb they were using in the video. The rod could be anything from 9wt to 11wt.
I prefer the 10 or 11wt if I am going to need a weed guard. Once I need a weed guard, that means that I am going to fish heavy structure and will need a good backbone in the rod.
Weed guards are also used on the Bass flies. Some of them are stiff mono and others are as small as .010 wire. Some of that depend on what you are willing to pay either for the ready made fly or for the extra spool to add to the 153 that you already have in your spool caddy.[cool]
