To summarize, get yourself

4. SR 9 reel from @shiltonreels,

and you will be ready for anything on the #RedSea flats (except a big #GT)!

#Mangroves are also home to many key prey items for #Bonefish and help protect them from predators.

Take care of your local mangroves so that they can protect and feed your local bonefish!
