Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} OPST Commando Heads

I have used those heads with Lazer running line to fish for shad and smallmouth bass my 6wt and 8wt single hand rods using single hand spey casts.

All good fun. The heads are capable of lifting pretty heavy sink tips in the 5-7ft length, need that for shad fishing. 

Yep, mending Lazer line does not work well. You can use a fully integrated line and mend better or just have normal running line but with a head system, take the penalty for not being able to cast as far. Other options: Wulff Ambush Triangle Taper line, or just really over line your rod. Like use an 8 or 9 or 10wt weight forward or double taper line on your 6wt, just for single-hand spey casting. Lot of fun there too.

Come out to the next casting church (15 Mar), we can work some single-hand spey stuff.

Has anyone fished with these lines before? I happened upon demo videos on YouTube last year, and was really intrigued by the ability to get distance with single handed roll/spey casts. I am toying with rigging a 6 wt single handed rod and targeting bass, snakehead, maybe even northeast Ohio steelhead. 

From what I've read, people say they cast well but are no good mending. Also unclear if you can switch between casting styles. Would love any thoughts.
