Of tippet of choice. For running line I use the 30# Airflo Ridge running line. This is a sweet set up for surface fly Steelheading. For sub-surface the new 420 gr Airflo Skagit Switch head and your choice of sink tip material up to 10' works quite well.<br /><br />Jon Lund, Eugene, ORJon B.

I'm pretty sure that they will. <br /><br />AYOTF...you're right about a lack of two handers down here. I'm trying to do something a little different. We'll see if it pays off.<br /><br />Mark...I'm looking forward to Part 2 as well. Maybe next week.<br /><br />Blake...I think that this rod will respond best to good balance and finding the correct line that works for the application. I'm still working through the process.

I'm definitely planning on getting it out on the water soon. <br />I've heard the Compact Scandi 390 casts well on it. The Royal Wulff Ambush 10wt (400 grain) would also probably be pretty sweet.Blake Merwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533293764074532708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072465054494499379.post-19809781910134151722010-05-25T16:51:49.684-04:002010-05-25T16:51:49.684-04:00very cool!

I once sat for a while on a bank of a Washington State river with my week little 9' 7w and watched a spey caster work the river. It was a schooling in casting just to watch. Looks like a great rod and the Saluda is a good place to use it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316041269518485658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072465054494499379.post-74038152377408174792010-05-25T07:37:56.928-04:002010-05-25T07:37:56.928-04:00Nice lookin striper streamers..
