Morning all thought I’d pop in and ask about a g ood medium action fly rod? Something suitable for saltwater fishing for snook, tarpon, and striped bass? I am use to fly fishing for trout so my gear is fairly lite…

Reddington is owned by Sage, just that they are built overseas – the quality if good for the price. The Cabela’s XST is another decent fly rod for under $200 and I have had no issues with sending Cabela’s products back – they stand by their products.
Orvis makes great saltwater rods.
The T-3the ZG Helios is a $750 and weighs considerably less than all others which will reduce fatigue. I think Redington makes a nice “mangrove/flats” rod. I purchased this rod and use it for Tarpon .If your looking strictly for a “trophy fish” rod then you need a 12 WT. However, you will get MUCH MORE mileage out of a 9WT.
You can use your 9WT for a wider variety of fish, IE- L Bass, Redfish, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, ‘Cuda, Etc.
But, there are MANY good rods in the $200 price range……
Just make sure when you purchase your rod that it has “saltwater components” and an aluminum reel seat.
Hope this helps ya?
