The 8wt would be to throw bigger flies and also cast around cover.

So what 4wt did you go with? I took my own advice and picked up a TFO Pro II 8' 4wt, Redington Zero 45 reel of my step son to use for the summer. But of course I have to hold on to and use it extensively while he is not here. LOL with me starting the TDCJ training academy and working Mon-Friday we haven't had the chance to get out yet, but we will.

I went with a TFO Pro II 8' 4wt.
I just went with a cheapo Hobbs Creek (BPS) reel but I went for Scientific Anglers fly line.

Nice, I had a 5 wt TFO line sitting around that came with 5 wt Axiom that is just to light for it and strung it up on the 4wt. Should work out pretty well to punch thru the wind a little better for him while he is here.
