Been fishing skagit lines for several years now and while its a great tool for higher flows, deeper and slower presentations, sometimes I find myself fishing skinny water where skagit is simply too splashy and dont provide as much control.
Been considering getting into short bellies. How much more or less grains for short belly one would determine if lets say my rod casts 480gr skagit (deep loading).
Rod is Scott ARC 1196/4 (11'9", 6 weight). Intended use with long mono leaders and more traditional flies tied on various weight singles.
Few lines I am considering:
Airflo Delta 6/7 470gr, 50.5' head (already have one)
Delta II 6/7 460gr, 46' head
Rio short spey 6wt 430gr, 40' head
Advice or input before I buy yet more lines that wont work would be greatly appreciated.
