Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re:

 Interesting.  I haven't cast the helios, but my beaulah 11 foot 8 weight is rated for like a 425 grain Skagit.

Actually, 500-550 is right in the wheelhouse of most modern #8 switch rods.  I toss a 450 on my #7 and it could take more if needed.  If you check out the current RIO line recs, most #8 switches are somewhere between 475 and 575 depending on  manufacturer.  Maybe the OP can shed some light on the actual rod model.  What did you get Danny?

What the heck are you doing with it that you are planning on throwing flies that big?

But I agree, Skagit head is the way to go.  Not sure which one without knowing exactly what rod it is. 550 seems like an awful lot for a switch.

Happy holidays everyone,

Got a new rod for Christmas. I'm need of a line now. It's a 8 weight switch rob I plan on throwing 4 to 6 inch streamers with heavy sink tips and big nymph set ups. Any suggestions for a line?

Thanks,
