Default 8 Weight Line

Hi Willi,

It will be stiff and coily in cold water.

I would buy a Rio or SA/Mastery Steelhead line.

I'm going up to the Clearwater next week to try and see if I can hook up
with a Steelhead. I'm planning on using my 8 weight rod. The line I have
for it is a "Bonefish" line, made for fishing in warm water conditions. Is
this going to work for me or will it suck because it is too stiff? I'd
rather not buy a new line.

Willi

floating work as well? MT


Floating line. I'm taking my sinking shooting heads, but I don't expect
to use them.
