I have a friend that needed a long casting Mid Length Speyrod. I had a CND 1308SP on the Try Rack so I told him to give it a go. He has a Loop Green 14 ft with the Loop Adapted line in 9/10. We played around with the tip and settled for 15ft of T-14 and went to the river. The combination Speycast like a dream really surprising me because I thought the 9/10 Loop Adapted head would be too much. But was I wrong.
Next we went to overhead casting; this is why he wanted a shorter rod. He wanted to cast off the beach for Silvers and such. We played around a little and was I pleased! We started by shooting a little line in the back cast and he was able to shoot an entire SlickShooter. We put a 55mm Waddington shank with a set of dumbbell eyes on it and it winged by you like rock out of slingshot hitting fly first then the line. Not recommend for the faint of heart.
I may have to put one of these little beauties in my rod bag for fishing silvers .
Just wish it were a 10/11 with a butt that could lift a small block Chevy forChinook fishing.
