Nothing worse than arriving at your destination and realizing you forgot to pack that one important item.
A good checklist will help prevent just that from happening. Ofcourse everybody has different needs
but these lists will cover most general fishing needs.
These are some gear sugestions for some of the locations Weevz has to offer. Bringing the right rods, reels and lines does make a trip much more enjoyable. By clicking on a destination you will see a list of reel sizes and rod and line types and aftma's we think are a good option for that specific location.
Tropical Fly Fishing
For most fishing for Bonefish an 8 weight fly rod is perfect. Combined with a good salt water resistent large arbor reel and a floating tropical line you will be able to cover most situations you can find fishing most tropical area's.
For Permit fishing a 9 or a 10 weight fly rod is perfect. Combined with a good salt water resistent large arbor reel and a floating tropical line you will be able to cover most situations you can find fishing most tropical area's.
For Tarpon fishing a 10 to 12 weight fly rod is perfect. Combined with a good salt water resistent large arbor reel and a floating tropical line you will be able to cover most situations you can find fishing most tropical area's.

The rods for trout fishing range from #2 all the way up to #8.
Small trout in a straem is great fun on a #3 weight fly rod but 7 kilo fish need a bit more than that.
Fishing in cold salt water gives you lots of different oppertunities. In the netherlands it usually comes down to Sea trout, Bass and Shad.
Fishing for Shad is done with #6 or #7 weight rods with DI3 or DI5 sinking lines. Sea Trout mostly with a 9'6" #7 weight and Bass fishing from the shore with a #8 or #9 weight.
Both Sea Trout and Bass fishing can be done with floating, intermediate and sinking lines depending on the siruation.
Of course, since we are fishing in salt water, you need a reel that is salt water resistent and esspecially for larger Sea Trout and Nass you need a drag that can apply some presure to the fish to be able to control them.
We know choosing a fly is done by feel which is good but local knowledge is quite valuable too so by clicking on a location you'll see a selection of flies of which we know they work because we use them ourselves with great succes.
