Id like to try scandi spey casting my single hand 81/2 ' 7wt rod. Mainly will be using it on smaller streams on a dry line. I have several 8, 9 and one 10 WF floating lines that I can cut. I understand that one should normally up line 2-3 sizes which would look like the 9 or 10 line may be my best choice. The first 30' of the 9 weighs 240 gr and the 10 weighs 280.
To try and use one of these for spey casting, would it be best for me to cut at 30' and reverse the head (which would put the "mass in the a$$" as they say) and then loop or weld to a running line, or is it possible to just use it as is? A 30' head is probably max for this rod length.
Unfortunately we're still into winter here and I can't try anything out at present but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.
If none of this seems plausible, what lines would you recommend for spey casting on a SH rod?
Thanks for any help.
