Is the 10ft 4wt a nymph specific rod or will it do well overhead casting with wf line as well?

[@DouglasOutdoors]

Hi Jonas! The 10ft 4wt is specifically designed for euro nymphing, but you can cast dry flies with it as a secondary application.

[@jamesnichols8893]

I bought this rod I am anxious to use it for euro nymphing would loading it with a 4 wt SA amplitude be too much

[@DouglasOutdoors]

Hi James! There are a bunch of amplitude lines by SA, so I’m going to assume you mean either the MPX or Infinity. But either way, I wouldn’t go up any weight sizes on that rod, especially for just euro nymphing. The MPX and Infinity are actually a half size heavy too, so that 4-weight line is more like a 4.5. I would recommend just the SA trout in a 3-weight or a Double Taper in a 3 wt.
Enjoy the rod!
