Hello All,
I'm 5 minutes new to this Forum,and posting with a bit of hesitation only because I'm so very new to Spey Fishing. But I have a question that I'm certain many of you may have experienced at one time or another. I currently own a 13' 7/8 St. Croix two-hander, in which I purchased only to give Spey fishing a try for the first time. On most of the waters that I have fished so far it seems adequate. My question and please excuse the lack of proper terminology is at what point is a Spey rod overloaded ?? I have purchased a Rio Wind Cutter Multi- tipped line rated for my particular rod,but to me it seems way to light, it's as if I'm waving air. Yesterday I had a very experienced Spey caster put his 9/10/11 with a type 3 sinking head on and the rod preformed beautiful. My concern is that I may be putting to much load for the rods proper performance. Any light on this subject could be very helpful!!
Thanks in advance T-290
