Fairly new to two handed rods, although I now own a few. So far I have been lining them with recommendations found mostly on Rio and Airflo's charts.
I just bought a used Z Axis 6126 and lined it with the recommended 390 Scandi, and it did not feel very responsive for most of my casts. So without any expectations I cast it today with a 350 Scandi and it seem to come alive, felt much lighter, and overall a more comfortable fit.
Now I'm thinking of trying a 310 Scandi on my 5126 Z Axis. I get that lighter grain weights will feel lighter, but how technically does going lighter impact casting? I'm curious what much more experienced casters have to say.
Thanks,
Mark
