I'm squeezing in a few days this coming June to chase Rooster Fish from the beach in Cabo. All advice points to a 10wt, which I need to buy and practice with. I've narrowed it down to a NRX or a Sage Salt HD [leaning towards the Salt HD as I loved my old and sold RPLXi 6,7,8 WT's]. This will be my first 10WT, and I've read a lot of opinions, and watched a ton of videos on both them and rooster fishing, so I think I'm pretty solid on a 10WT.
My question is, with the 1/2 line over, full line weight over BS going on with the line manufacturers, do I buy a size under as I'm a competent caster and do not need to over-line my rods. Specifically, the Rio Flat's Pro has my attention, but I understand it's a +1 line weight. Would I be best off buying a 9WT RFP line? I was leaning towards the Rio Bonefish based off of a lot of comments on this forum, but it tops out at 9Wt... I'm pretty dedicated to Rio from a long past trout fishing their lines for +10 years, but will be open if someone has something specific.
I'm in AZ, so my parking lot casting options are limited, and while I would gladly buy a recommended line based on the opinion from an experienced person here, I hate to just start buying saltwater specific lines trying to sort it out by trial and error.
Thanks in advance for your help!
