Cabelas LST switch rods

I was wondering how the LST switch rods cast and if the 6wt would be good for cutthroat and the occasional small salmon? Also what kind of line could I put on it to make single hand over head casts and long roll casts in the salt?


maybe something like a mastery steelhead line:confused:

In my experience these rods are rated for single hand lines rather than spey lines. I'm not quite clear what presentation you're fishing. The 6wt would be fun with river cutts. A steelhead taper will roll cast, but isn't ideal for overhead work. The 6wt likes a 5wt steelhead taper and is a moderate action rod. I often use mine fishing soft hackles at a distance. I haven't cast the 8wt, but suspect similar flex profile. I'd steer away from salmon with the 6wt.
