Greetings
I recently acquired this rod from a friend and would appreciate advice/insight with lining it. I use a "Skagit" head (what a great forum!) with another rod (9140) but I think I'd rather use a line of at least 65' with this one. While I see and use the benefits of the shooting heads, my heart is with the longer lines. Therefore, my short list consists of Mid Spey, Grande Spey, Long Delta and Traditional. I like the Long Delta (8/9, on different rod) but am currently leaning toward the Traditional for the DB. I have heard doubts however, as to whether the Airflows will "drive" this weapon. Since skill level is a consideration, I've had this rod out twice now and with a DT-11 sink tip (82'), I'm shooting 15' of dacron.
Thanks in advance.
