+1 with P-line 50# hydrafloat! What a game changer for trout speys, incredible shooting distance. You can feel everything going on with your fly, no stretch. The price is right, 10 bucks a spool enough for a couple reels.. On the smaller trout speys P line hydro float in the 30-50 # works really good.
All Good Things,

I like the big game, coiling isn't to much of an issue because of how thin it is compared to your average running line. I thought about a grip shooter but I've heard quite a few stories of the 30/35 lb breaking off at the skagit head, as the 25lb has shown no issues.I am running 40lb big game and thought I was going to have problems with coiling and also handling, so far so good though. I might try the rio grip shooter and see how that goes, I have a spare one I got for a good price.
Same for me, but I occasionally use a coated line like Airflo Ridge, or ELF. The P Line is good stuff.I am strictly old school when it comes to running lines , having used mono for over 30 years in my single hand shooting head fishing, I saw no reason to switch now that I fish with 2 handers .

What knot are you using to make loops in the P-line? I just ordered some to test it out and was concerned about slippage. Don't want to lose a head!+1 with P-line 50# hydrafloat!
