Hey Gang:
I came into a little money and I'm looking at getting a winston micro-spey or switch. My home water isn't huge. Average steelhead (Great Lakes Rainbow)on this river is 22 - 24 inches, getting as big as 26- 28.
I've been fishing a redington 6 weight switch with a 420 airflo skagit switch. I like it because it casts great in tight quarters and can turn over a ten foot piece of t-8 when I need to get down in cold water. I'm wondering if I could still cast this with the 5 weight 11.5 foot "micro-spey" or if I should pick up the 11 foot 6 weight switch? (Its a good problem to have, but the rods are expensive enough that I don't want to get it wrong.)
I dont' mind going to a 390 or 360 head on the 5... it might be great, I am just curious if the forum thinks I can kick over that tip.
Thanks,
Slint
