Scandi Recommendations for Bamboo

Hello to all. Over the last five years I fell in love with bamboo rods for my inland trout and steelhead fishing. My rods for swinging are not true spey rods. They are single-handers with extention butts which allows for spey fishing. OPST heads have been perfect for these rods. Unfortunately, the steelhead waters in my area in WNY are tragically low and getting lower each year so I have been fishing florocarbon leaders with flies (sometimes lightly weighted). It's worked, but I want to incorporate scandi heads into the fold. I am looking for heads in the twenty foot range with low grain weights 200-300ish. Do you have any suggestions for this setup. Many thanks in advance .

I second the silk Scandi, or an appropriate weight DT which can be rolled and overhead cast for added delicacy in low water spate streams.
Another option is the Wulff Triangle Tapers for single handers that can be rolled or Spey cast and overhead cast when required for precision dry fly presentations.
