[proffessori]

I just bought my first spey set-up and am working at learning to throw line. I have a Loop Blue line 14 ft 9#. The shop I bought it from recommended a Rio Windcutter multi-tip sysatem (9wt) which I purchased. I have spent the last three days on the Stave (mainly cause there's no one around) practicing. My problem is I can't get the line airborn on the forecast. I can get a decent anchor, mouse and D loop but the rod never seems to load for me. If this was a single hand rod I would say it feels like it is seriously under-lined. Before I go back to the shop and complain about the line weight I would appreciate hearing if anyone has experience with the Loop model I have and what weight line you are using. Hope this isn't too confusing.

Have you overhead cast the outfit, and if so how does it feel?

Welcome to the Speyclave!

That combination should be fine--Simon at RIO recommends it on their site, and I have used it as well.

I live in Vancouver. Email me directly at [email protected] and we'll do some casting.

WOW -

proffessori, looks like you hit the jackpot with post #1! That just might be the luckiest 'first cast' ever
