Thanks for the input. I'm going to try them overloaded this weekend on the lake and see how they cast, On my past trips I've used an 8 for the bones but I recently got a new setup and on the last trip I found it to be almost too much rod for them so I'm stepping it down to the 6 fo r bones, a little extra fight won't be a bad thing. I'm probably not going tob e hooking into any 50 pound tarpons but I'm sure the 8 weight will be fine for the 15-25 pounders. I'll assess the casting of the rods this weekend thens ee if I need to breakdown and buy more lines! Thanks again

Just wondering what peoples thoughts/experiences are with overloading a saltwater rod. I'm thinking of loading my 6-weight with my 8 weight bonefish line for little extra distance on the cast. Possibly putting a 10-weight tarpon line on my 8 weight. Anyone have any pros/cons with doing this? I can see there may be some pick-up issues but the rods are stiff and I don't really see the extra weight being a problem. thanks!
