Right before Christmas, I snagged one of these rods at a great price. The owner tried it once, and he hadn't Spey Cast before. He didn't like it.
What Rio Lines do you like with this rod? It will be used for Winter Steelhead in N. Ca, and early fall Steelhead in SW Oregon. Also, it will be used for Shad Fishing.
If our rivers ever go down, I will be testing Rio's Grand Spey Floating 8/9, and I have my Grand Spey 7/8 with tips to try on it.
I prefer either the Mid Spey or the Grand Spey type of lines.
One final question re taping the ferrules:
I have got conflicting opinions on taping the ferrules. Do you or don't you tape with the ARC rods?
