Mates,

I live in south florida and plan to fish key biscayne, upper keys and the park for tarpon this spring and summer as I finally have my skiff ready to roll. For those that fish those areas, if I needed one stick, should I get a 10wt or 11wt. I have plenty of 8's and 9's. I have no experience with tarpon on the fly if that matters in your rec. I have read the advantages of both. 10wt (lighter and more delicate for skittish fish) and 11wt (easier to land faster). What say you! TIA.

I wouldn't go smaller than an 11wt if you are gonna have just one tarpon rod.

I use a Scott Meridian 11 wt most of the time. Casts very well in windy conditions and has plenty of backbone.
