switch over to the Orvis Ignition fly line. It's got a short front taper making it load quickly. Awesome line for quick shots inside of 50-60 feet.
Good to hear, I'm debating between the bonefish HD or ignition.
Lots of good advice in this thread. Spend money on the rod.
Orvis Clearwater is a good starting point. Alex - the manager at Orvis in BR- will treat you right.
I'd also suggest TFO (temple fork outfitters) - their professional series rods appears to be a very good rod for the money. I have the mangrove and really love it. The Geen Trout in BR has a good selection.
As mentioned, the 8 wt is a great all around size to start.
Practice casting, in salt - accuracy in the 25-50 range is everything.
As far as redfish go...throw a clouser in their face and strip/pull it away from them...tease them. Try to keep it away from them and they will slam it.

The Ignitor is awesome. You will like it. Fast action rods like to slam flies down like hammer when casting in close. The short front taper makes presentation much more delicate without having to carry a lot of line.
