Whether you are looking to stock up on the basics or are searching for advanced fly fishing products to take your fishing to the next level, you can count on our range of saltwater fly fishing gear for absolutely everything you need. Our range of products include:

Saltwater flies for sale — When it comes to saltwater fly fishing flies, the mobile and soft feather options work particularly well. Seeing as the majority of the fish being targeted in saltwater are bigger predators, you may think that smaller fish would be put off by larger flies. However, this is not the case!

Saltwater rods — Unlike most freshwater fish, the fish in saltwater are often much larger and heavier. This is important to keep in mind when shopping for a rod for saltwater fly fishing. Instead of your usual 5- or 6-weight fly rod for freshwater fish, we recommend an 8-10 weight rod for saltwater fishing.

Saltwater reels — Remember to match the weight of the reel to your rod. While a Large-arbour reel is ideal for saltwater fly fishing, to save money, a fly rod and reel combination will also do the trick. https://troutflies.com.au/discovery-romeo-2020-3/4-5/6-7/8/-9/12.html

FAQs

What are saltwater flies used for?

Just as freshwater flies are used in freshwater fly fishing, saltwater flies are used as bait to lure and catch fish. Unlike traditional casting bait, Saltwater flies are light and sink in the water, where they imitate the motion of real fish — tempting fish to take.

Can you fly fish in saltwater?

Yes, you can. Whether you are thinking of picking up a new hobby or are looking to catch different species of fish, saltwater fly fishing is a truly rewarding experience. While the majority of the skills you will have learnt from freshwater fishing are transferable, saltwater fly fishing can be a new and exciting challenge.

Is saltwater fly fishing hard?

Just like any sport or hobby, saltwater fly fishing can be difficult at first. For a first-time fly fisher, saltwater fishing can be an overwhelming experience — with new weight lines, rods, reels and a collection of flies to get used to. However, with the right equipment and a bit of practice, saltwater fly fishing is a highly rewarding and effective way to catch many species of fish.
