Rods
Two medium-fast action fly rods, 8 weights, 9 ft.

Lines
Weight forward floating lines for warm water. Below are some suggestions:

RIO LINES
The Clouser Fly Line for Nasties -Warm water
Rio Florida Bonefish line (has intermediate sink tip)
Rio Density Compensated 15ft Tapered Sinking Tip Fly Line

SCIENTIFIC ANGLER LINES
Ultra 4 Heavy Freshwater/Bass
Wet Tip Clear- single strain mono core

If you are comfortable with heavier lines, 200-350 grain lines made by Teeny or Scientific Anglers are also effective, however you should be able to present both the line and fly well. You should test and practice with your equipment before coming to Argentina so that you are comfortable and confident with your line and rod.

Wire leaders
