I know there aren't too many long rodders here but for those who might be interested, Bruce Richards of SA together with Jim Vincent and Simon Gawesworth have produced a new standard for rating spey lines. http://flyfishing.about.com/spey/speystandards/ Small error in this table, the long bellied lines should read 70' to 90' measured at 80'. This should take a lot (but not all) of the guesswork out of selecting lines for spey rods. I recently bought my first spey line. It's a Rio Windcutter WF8/9/10F. Where does that fit into the new standard? It's apparently a "short belly," but the weight is not specified on the box. BTW, spey casting is fun, and challenging. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |
