Fly reels for fly fishing in salt water on Bonefish & Co
When it comes to saltwater fishing, there are a few important things to keep in mind with fly reels: in principle, the reels should be 100% saltwater resistant and the braking system should be enclosed. This does not mean that the rolls should not be rinsed off with fresh water after daily use!
The daily care is very important because the salt water is very hard on the gear. In addition, the reels should all have a very good (strong and gentle) brake. The runs of the fish can sometimes be unreal and are hardly comparable to fish species in fresh water. In addition, the reels should have a large core and a fairly high backing capacity (+150 m). It can happen that a Bonefish tears 100 meter line from the reel in a run. Not to mention a medium-sized Tarpon or GT ... you should also be prepared for that.
It is best to use GSP (Gel Spun Backing, for example Super Backing) in saltwater fishing to minimize the risk of fish loss.

Fly lines for fly fishing in salt water on Bonefish & Co
In the vast majority of cases, a floating Weight Forward line (WF) is used when fishing on the flats, but shooting heads can also be used.
Vorfächer zum Fliegenfischen auf Bonefish & Co
Bei dieser Art der Fischerei reichen konisch gezogene Vorfächer vollkommen aus. In der Regel sind diese 9 bis 12Fuß (ca 270 bis 360 cm) lang. Wir empfehlen die Verwendung eine Vorfachringes, um das Vorfach nicht beim Fliegenwechsel zu kürzen. Außerdem lässt sich Fluorocarbon sehr schlecht miteinander verknoten. Da hilft der Vorfachring ideal. Normalerweise reichen die Vorfächer wie RIO Bonefisch aus. Allerdings kann manchmal ein konisches Vorfach aus Fluorocarbon wie z.B. TIEMCO Akron hilfreich sein, wenn der Befischungsdruck recht hoch ist.
Fliegen für Bonefish & Co
Hier gilt als Faustregel: helle Fliegen über hellem Grund und dunkle Fliegen über dunklem Grund.
In der Regel gehen fast alle bekannten Bonefish-Muster gut. Allerdings sind moderne Muster mit Rubberlegs, Kaninchen oder Marabou den Klassikern doch etwas überlegen. Aber auch bekannte Meerforellenfliegen wie Pattegrisen in kleinen Größen und mit etwas Beschwerung funktionieren sehr gut! Unbedingt sollte man auch ein paar unbeschwerte Shrimpmuster dabei haben, um besonders empfindliche Fische durch das "ploppen" der Fliege nicht zu verschrecken. Auch am Rande von Mangroven im sehr seichten Wasser sind unbeschwerte Fliegen gefragt.
Weitere wichtige Ausrüstungsempfehlungen für die Fischerei im Salzwasser
Bekleidung: Denken Sie daran Bekleidung mit hohem Sonnenschutzfaktor zu tragen. Die Sonneneinstrahlung über den Tag hinweg ist sehr intensiv und oft sind Langarm-Hemden und lange Hosen die beste Wahl. Auch ein guter Kopfschutz (Kappe oder Bimini Cap) sind wichtig. Ein Schlauchtuch (Buff etc.) dient zum Schutz der Ohren und des Halses.
Polarisationsbrille: Achten Sie darauf eine qualitativ hochwertige Brille mit auf Ihre Reise zu nehmen. Besser noch: nehmen Sie eine zweite mit! Oft genug ist es passiert, dass eine Brille vom Boot fällt und nicht mehr zu retten ist. Ohne Polarisationsbrille sind Sie bei der Salzwasserfischerei fast aufgeschmissen.
Sonnencreme:Wir empfehlen Sportsonnencreme mit LSF 50. Bitte achten Sie auf den Zusatz "nicht fettend", da sich sonst Ihr Boot schnell in eine rutschige Oberfläche verwandeln kann. Tragen Sie die Sonnencreme rechtzeitig und mehrmals am Tag auf.
Fotoapparat:Am besten nehmen Sie eine spritzwassergeschützte Kamera mit oder verwenden einen wasserdichten Rucksack, um Ihr wertvolles Fotoequipment zu schützen.

EMFORCER Fly Reel (tempest blue)
Enforcer Fly Reel (tempest blue)- made for big and strong fish!Born of the performance of our renowned THERMO big game bluewater reels, the Sage ENFORCER has been updated and fine-tuned for the power, reliability, and durability needs of the saltwater flats angler. Designed with peak performance in mind, the ENFORCER offers everything the flats angler needs in a reel, whether taming the explosive runs of double-digit Bonefish or putting the brakes on the freight train pull of triple-digit tarpon. Simply put, this is the ultimate saltwater reel for flats and heavy-duty fly-fishing applications.But battles on the flats are exercises in nuance and chaos, so we’ve beefed up the O-rings and drag plates for added durability, consistency, and reliability. Maximum drag has been increased by 50% over the ENFORCER’s predecessor, the SPECTRUM MAX; you’ll find eight pounds at the arbor in the 7/8 size, 15 pounds in the 9/10 size, and 17 pounds at the arbor in the 11/12 size. For saltwater anglers fishing heavy tippets who don’t want to let fish run continuously—or who care enough about their fingers to avoid palming fast spinning spools—this increased drag allows them to get most out of their reel without sacrificing any metacarpals.From the first time an angler stepped onto the flats with a fly rod, it’s been well known that reels can take a beating in this environment; sand, wind, and salt love nothing more than finding a cozy spot inside a saltwater reel. The ENFORCER is more durable than any of our saltwater flats reels, with larger drag discs to better disperse pressure and maintain the consistency of the power band throughout the fight by stabilizing inherent stopping strength. An all-new reel foot design with radiused corners prevents abrasion to leaders wrapped around the reel foot for storage—or in the unfortunate, but inevitable, moments when the line wraps around the foot in the initial chaos of the hookup.Take these features—the old standbys, the innovations—and wrap them up in a burlier and more rigid and rugged cold-forged aluminum frame and you have a reel that will stand up to the drops, knocks, and beatdowns that frequently occur in saltwater fishing situations.• 50% Higher Drag Than SPECTRUM Family• Enlarged and Improved Seals• Increased Durability• More Rigidity• New Radius Cornered Reel Foot Model Capacity Weight Outside Diameter Spool Width Maximum Drag 7/8 WF-7-F + 200 yds 20 lbs Backing 273 g 10,7 cm 2,7 cm 8 lbs 9/10 WF-9-F + 200 yds 30 lbs Backing 303 g 11,7 cm 2,9 cm 15 lbs 11/12 WF-11-F + 300 yds 30 lbs Backing 318 g 12,7 cm 3,2 cm 17 lbs

SALT R8 Fly Rod
MORE FIGHT, MORE TOUCH Most salt rods are built for pure power and ultimate strength—that is table stakes for the venue and the discipline. With SAGEs new R8 graphite, adding 25% more strength-per-weight was the easy part—a simple function of material advancement—but one that also increased the fight in the rod even down to our six-weight. SAGE increased the pure pulling power without the need to add more material, fillers or reinforcement. The outcome is simple, providing the ability for faster landing times and reducing fish stress and catch-and-release pressure on ever so delicate ecosystems. More strength and fight were an obvious upgrade, yet few salt rods, especially in the heavier weights, achieve the importance of feel for fine touch shots and precise presentations. Shaping a taper that brought this increased touch into the equation took more time. Yet after a long residence in the birthplace of saltwater fly fishing, and working directly with the experienced guides there, our rod designers found the right profile and fiber alignment that delivered strength, fine touch presentation, and a more intuitive sweet spot to a class of rods that have long had a reputation as unwieldy, unforgiving and difficult. With the SALT R8, gone are the days of sacrificing the feel and touch in your saltwater rod. Whether maximizing your limited shots for Tarpon or blocking the right moon cycle for a Permit trip—or just delivering a quick, confident cast through wind at distance—saltwater is a game where patience and urgency are equally critical to maximizing opportunity. Whether on idyllic flats, coastal beaches or backcountry mangroves, you need faith—in your cast, your reaction time and your choice of rod. While saltwater locales often move slower, the fishing is faster, the pressure more intense and the variables more variable. From wind, weather and tides to spooky fish, seasonal migrations and salty guides, it’s a different game with a different set of rules in venues that range from tournaments and Grand Slam flats to legendary bonefish lodges and hushed redfish beaches. The shots are fewer, the stakes are higher and seconds matter in sight fishing. By the third false cast, your time—at least for that fish—has passed. But more than just delivering a fly on demand, saltwater sight fisheries necessitate a different tool than what works for your standard trout stream. A rod that loads quickly and predictably, a sweet spot more intuitive to feel. More strength to land fish quicker and more touch for precision short shots. A more durable rod that is built to survive both long skiff runs and remote destinations - where broken rods are absolutely heartbreaking. A precisely honed taper that will ensure your fly is presented in the right place at the right time. For Sage, having Revolution 8 technology in hand meant now was the time to shape a dramatic advancement in saltwater rods that spoke to these truths right from the heart and birthplace of the discipline.

Super Backing 45 lbs (pink)
A few years ago we asked ourselves how we could make a good backing even better. After analysing the most important requirements for a backing we discovered that these were an even greater tensile strength - at a lower volume, a longer life, UV stability and very strong knot strength. We tested various materials and the breakthrough came when we combined a new braiding technique with a high performance thread. The result is the best backing that we know of. The main advantage is that even though it has a very small diameter, it has the quality to flatten out on the reel. This means no more cutting through itself! The tensile strength is 40 % higher, the diameter 35 % less than conventional backing and the fluorescent colour is easily visible. The tensile strength is 45 lbs (approx. 21 kg)! This may appear exorbitant to some Trout anglers but, even in this situation, our Super Backing does have the advantage of the fish feeling less water pressure on the line, during long runs and drills. When fly fishing for larger fish this advantage becomes even more apparent.
