The Eight — Redfish
Same eight. Pointed at the flats.
Same blank as The Eight, same fast taper, same line speed. What changes is the artwork on the grip and the water it’s aimed at.
This one is built around a specific cast: a tailing red in skinny water, a quick load, and a fly landed a few feet ahead of it before it knows you’re there. Enough backbone left over for when a bull decides the nearest oyster bar is a better idea than your reel.
Blacked-out and corrosion-resistant top to bottom, because the flats are not gentle on hardware.
