Will an Airflo 40+ handle 10' polyleaders for overhead casting on a switch rod, and if so how well as compared to an integrated scandi line.

I think id stick to the 5' ers. The 10' polyleaders are getting close to around 100 grn

Airflo 10' intermediate polyleaders are 30 grains. The fast sinking 10' polyleaders are 38 grains, which is the heaviest I would be using.

Yes they are fine. I use them on my 9'6 7 weights all the time with a #7 40 plus.

Ah, sorry I thought you meant Versi leaders. Getting 10' of poly tip out of the water with a 40+ might be a chore. You may need to go the route of an intermediate line all together. Not sure if you are trying to get that 40+ to be a one line does everything, I have several 40+ lines and they are a shooting head single hand line, not a scandi or skagit. I casted one overhead with a long poly but it felt too heavy, speycasting was fine though. Are you still thinking of using this in a lake? There is no 1 line for lake use. For the lakes I have 4 lines on spools and sometimes 2 rods ready to go if conditions require

The best distance line I have cast so far is the custom made Meiser scandi head that came with my 11' 4/5 switch rod with Miracle Braid as the running line. It can cast approximately 100 feet both overhead and spey style effortlessly. I haven't found anything that can touch it.

If that is the case, why not throw the work Sgs's way? If I get treated well somewhere, you can guarantee ill be back. I have never used one of Steves lines but from what I understand you can't go wrong
