Ok, so I had a spey rod built up. It is a 13'3" Rainshadow Blank. 4 pc 8wt with a grain window of 510 to 560
I have a 500 grain skagit. I went to the 1338 because the 7 had a grain window that maxed at 475.
Now.... I will be on some water soon to cast it or try to but I tried lawn casting and could NOT get a decent cast EXCEPT when I had the entire head on the lawn behind me. Then I can load and shoot it out great!
I am feeling disappointed like I may have to go purchase a new heavier line.
OR is it just that spey casting doesn't work in a the lawn? What do you guys say?
I should also mention this is my first spey reel, line and yadda yadda yadda...
