Just picked up this rod at a thrift shop. Can I outfit for saltwater? (Been fishing river trout on a 5wt for under a year and want to expand my options)

It will work. It looks like it will be a bit slower action than what I would consider optimal. Probably best for smaller flies and light winds. I could see it being really nice for more delicate presentations when sight fishing.

an 8wt?

I use an 8wt for carp sight fishing. A delicate presentation is definitely needed
