As for buying an 8wt I feel no need to even buy a cheap one. I hardly go after fish that would require one,
Aw, but you are young. I have probably used an 8 wt more since I discovered Carp. I have landed many on my 6 wt as well, just the 8 wt was a cheaper one (in fact free[
]) so I do grab it. I feel much better about the surround trees and brush than I would swinging my Orvis or Winston[
]
Don't forget, an 8 wt is great for thick grassy water (bass). For casting bigger flies. For casting into winds.
I think the complete set up is a 4, a 6 and an 8 weight. That covers anything I go after...well, maybe a 10 for the Sturgeon[] One can dream[angelic]
