A friend of mine got one of these and is interested what lines would suit it.

Any suggestions/experiences? From heads to full length lines are fine...

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Forgot to tell, its action is midflex 7.

Anyone, anything?

Yeah...

Check with the dealer you bought it from. But if it was ME, I'd probably go with a Rio Windcutter, and check Rio's specs to see whether a 5/6, or a 6/7/8 would work better.

I don't know what the rod (or its action) will work better with.

RIO recommends

for the Orvis Silver Label 1267 A WC 6/7/8 or Midspey 6/7. If you prefer a deeper load, or B, WC 7/8/9 or Midspey 7/8. for the scandanavian head a 7/8.

RIO 6/7 Midspey

SMS:

I have fished a RIO Midspey 6/7 full floater on the Orvis rod you reference, and found it to be a great match for the rod. As suggested by Ted (t_richerzhagen), if you prefer the rod to load deeper into the butt, which on this rod I don't, RIO Midspey 7/8 is probably a good choice. Good fishing.
