That is a pretty radical solution. Do you know the line weight recommended
for the rod, and the weight of the line? If you do, you can covert these
into grams, and see what portion of the line would equal the recommended
grams for the rod. Rio publishes all the specs for it's spey lines on its
web site.

Have any of you tried your hands at this ?

Ive been using a 14' Orvis rod which has a somewhat soft action but

is a bit heavy, and recently got my hands on a new Powell 1409. This is

lighter but also faster so I was wondering if I should start dissecting

my line (Rio windcutter) removing 6-12" at a time until the action feels

better.
