Hi Fred,
Thanks for the message. I'm looking forward to the new rod, and read that Tim Rajeff recommends Airflo scandi compact 270 gr; and Airflo skagit compact 360 or skagit switch 360. I'm interested in your experience with the rod and line recs. I think I've maybe seen a video by you about shad fishing in MA with spey rod (was that yours)?
I live in southern RI. I'm trying to get over to UpCountry (about 2 hr drive) to get some fly tying supplies and when I figure out a date, I'll contact you. I've been fly fishing for over 50 years and in 2014 started fishing two hand rods - frankly I can't get enough of them - pretty exciting way to fish. And really like the trout speys.
Thanks for reaching out and I'll stay in touch.
Best,
George Loomis
