Hi,
Just bought a Grand Spey 10/11 for my Loop Blue 1510 after looking at the Rio line recommendations. I have been using a Windcutter 10/11/12 and a Midspey 10/11 so this is my first foray into long belly territory.
Anyway I went down to the pond for a few throws this evening. I cant believe how heavy this line feels. Its ok up to about 70' outside the rod tip, then I can just feel the rod starting to bog down. Any more than 80' of line out and it goes like a stick of spaghetti.
I guess I bought the wrong line. Anyone else got this rod and knows whether I should be going for a 9/10 or even an 8/9?
All info gratefully received.
