I bought this blank a while back, then eventually got the components to build it up, and recently finished the rod. It's quite a looker, if I do say so myself. I tell myself that the main reason I bought it is because of its similarity to the CND Solstice 13' 4" model, which is difficult, at best, to come by any longer. So I took the Z-axis fishing this weekend and used the same Skagit 450 that I use on my CND. I also use a 7 wt short belly (55') Orvis line on this rod, but didn't have it with me Saturday. It cast just fine, but the Z-axis feels like it might be a shade more powerful than the CND. I am curious what other lines Spey Pagers use on this rod, both for fishing sink tips and full floating lines. Ya' know, just in case I need an excuse to buy and try more gear.
Thanks for any input.
