Finally got a hold of a demo of this rod so I could take one up to the river for the next few weeks.
Anyways...was curious if anyone has had a chance to throw this rod??
For casting overhand, a #9 Saltwater Taper loads this rod perfect...the whole flyline and a good amount of backing flys off this rod.
Took it up to the river under the impression any #8 and heavier Spey lines would overload the rod...so in turn I ran a #8 Steelhead Taper off the rod...way too light!
Got home...strung up a 8/9/10 WC for some lawn casting...a little heavy but much much better.
Tomorrow, I am going to throw a 8/9TT on it and see how it does...
Anyone have any line recommendations for this rod??
