| | first of all, no snook, unless its at least 30 lbs is going to take out all of your fly line and more that 50 yards of backing, also if you use the rod right, and you dont use a extremly light tippet you can land that fish just as fast as the guy using a 6 weight rod, then again some people dont know how to use their rods to their advatnage and the high stick, if you point the 3 weight almost directly at the fish and only use the back you'll have more than enough power to land those beach snook. |

| | I dont know what kind of snook that would be...I have had my reel almost dumped by a snook on my 8wt...the smallest rod I have used was a 4wt for rainbow trout in a float tube and even that wouldnt throw much of a fly...you can do whatever you want but my 35yrs of flyfish experience says not to...be sure to post the picture |

| | That must of been one giant snook, because even a 10-15 pounder isnt going to dump your reel, that is if you actually use you drag how ts meant to be used, dont be afraid to tighten up you drag, and use 10 tippet you shouldnt have any problem. |

| | whatever bonefish, you dont have to be 60 years old, and catch 4,000,000 snook a year to know that if you use your rod right, use your drag right, use a little bit heavier tippet, fight the fish right, that your going to bring in that fish quickly. Also do you actually use your drag, are you using really light tippets, are you fishing around the bridges here where the snook are a lot bigger athan 99% of the snook than your going to catch off the beach, you would be the first person that I have heard of that has almost been spooled by a snook, unless of coarse you have like 50 yards of backing, and your hooking giant fish, I dont understand you almost getting spooled, use your drag, heavier tippet, and you wont have to worry about getting spooled, ast least by a snook. |
