With the quiver of rods you have, I would definitely go for an 8-weight. Drop in to your local shops and cast them all, then decide what you really like. You'll find so many uses for an 8-weight that it is well worth the investment, and perfect for the Potomac as well.

Hello all!--
I will be going to Bermuda in May 2014 and am going to try and land an elusive bonefish. I know i have time before i go but wanted to go ahead send out the the feelers to get as much info as i can. I currently have typical trout fly rods (Hydros 4wt and Access 6wt) and will need to get a saltwater rod. From what i have read an 8wt would do the trick. I would like to be able to also use this to fish the Potomac, especially when the shad run. So is 8wt what i need or should i step up to a 9wt? Any suggestions on rods? i don't want to spend a fortune but would like bang for my buck because i typically fish streams and this rod will not get as much use as my trout rods. ANy suggestions on line? i have seen bonefish line but will that work for a all around saltwater line or should i buy an extra spool and line? Has anyone been fishing in Bermuda and can give me suggestions an where to fish? Leader suggestions? And lastly, what flies should i take with me? I know that is a lot, which is why i am asking 6+ months in advance. Thanks for helping me out!
