I've got 3 - lovely to cast with Guideline 4D tips on (15' or 18') or Hardy 12' tips for the rocket (?) spey. Just wish they continued with the heavier weights - I managed to get a 660 grain line but would like one in 750+ grain line for my most powerful rods (#11/12).
Hi Brian, No this line would not pair well with such a short single handed rod. It is designed for a two hander. If you want to do single hand spey casting with shooting heads Airflo has another option called the Airflo Skagit scout. Found here: yhst-9494565811469.stores.yahoo.net/aisksc.html Another option are OPST commando heads. However, these are skagit style heads, and are designed for a sinking tip presentation. Floating presentation with a floating mow tip is possible, but you lose a bit of your ability to anchor your cast. Best, Sean
They have brought out this line in lower weights now - down to 210 grains/13.6 grams. Something to consider? Rio have a good selection of lightweight tips you can use as do Guideline (ULS 10'/3m tips) or Nextcast for the WA and Salar line ranges (10'/3m and 15'/4.5m).
This line casts so beautiful and catches fish. I fish it with a couple different polyleaders. I have a Rage for both of my Sage spey rods,

Suggestions for running line. Size vary according to grain weight of the shooting head? Thanks
Lol. New jacket Tim???
Just got me the 600 grain, looking forward in trying it out, Q. where can I get the wallet?? Ive tried the Airflo site, but can't see it
Can I pair this with a 9' 7wt single handed rod?
