My personal fly rod is a 9 wt. But an 8 wt fly rod would do just fine. Even a 6wt fly rod would throw most of the flies needed to catch tigers. But to make life easier to cast the big flies and have power to somewhat control the bigger tiger musky an 8 or 9 weight is recommended.
I tie my own flies and if others are interested I have included
a few pictures. But, a large clouser minnow pattern will work fine also and has worked for a couple of us in the past.
I also use a floating line and/or a sink tip line for casting to the tigers. If I were to troll I would prefer a full sink line.
I use a 6' bass leader or just 6' of 25 or 30# monofiliment with 18" to 24" of surflon knotable steel leader tied from the leader to the fly completes my outfit.
if you have other questions let me know.
The slam of a tiger musky hitting the fly is quite rush.......
Just talking here is making the heart go faster.
