I have cast it with a 340 grain Meiser Scandi line and it casts very nice. James said it cast best with a 390 grain head.
This was my first time using silk. I had no problems with the wraps but the trim bands gave me major fits trying to get them to stay. I also tried a new supplier of agates, J.E. Arguello, and I have to say they are the nicest agates I have seen and requires not foot prep. The guides and top are snake brand universal and the seat is a Struble. The silk wraps are fish hawk gold with scarlet trim."
Bob had a chance to get to the river yesterday and sent along a couple images of the switch rod doing work.
I am hearing more and more positive reviews of this blank and at some point I'm going to have to break down and order one at some point soon.

Fantastic rod with great backbone.
Where is that blank available? Sounds like what I've been looking for.
