I just purchased a wulff 8wt 290 grains for a single hand burky 71004 never tried this line before. I couldnt believe the distance this line shoots It felt like a switch rod I highly recommend this line to single hand casters it is so enjoyable to cast. Thanks to hearing about it from this forum a great site.

Amen!! I use the Ambush for single hand spey casting a lot and love it. It makes fishing a single hander so much fun that I put my two handers away for a few years!

I've been also using it for throwing big bass poppers and with a heavy butt leader it can cast with some real distance. I do hate the attached running line, though, and am considering chopping that off and going with my regular Big Game mono for running line.

What kind of leaders you use? In my experience very short head length does not cast far because line loop unfurls fast.

Esa,

Seeking a little context,

What line/rod ratio equals a short head ?

How far is far in casting distance ?

Do you think tip speed has an impact with short heads and distance ?


Enjoy The Spey Journey,

i have it on both my single hand and switch rod, i think its great line! on my single hand,i use 5 foot polyleaders,and on my switch, i find 10 foot poly leaders work best for me.

If u use polytips they add mass. Try underlining by one weight or two. You will be amazed by how much line speed you can achieve with a lighter line. Great line.

Yup, a really nice line. I've used the integrated lines on single hand and switch rods from the 4wt thru 11wt. I do very little mending (overrated IMO) and wish the integrated runner were a smaller diameter for greater shooting distance. The color change could have more contrast for low light situations but overall one of the best light skagit like lines available.
