what wt is your rod?
silvers in the salt, a 6wt is fine. I have landed fish up to 16 pounds on my 6wt in the salt. But your average fish is going to be 5-7 pounds around here depending on time of year.
a 3 would be on the small side for an 8 wt especially if you are using it for fish that will need a lot of backing... an 8wt line on a #3 might hold 50 yards of backing?
