Good day to all, Thank you for all the feedback and advice. i have decided on the lines necessary to compliment my rod changed from a conventional 5wt to a switch rod. I will be using the rod for stillwater only. Upon recommendation I have ordered a Scandi line and I am waiting in anticipation for i...

Hi Alp, Yip still here. Gathering all the information and having my 'computer' processing the necessary. I think I need some more memory!!! The idea is to only spey cast. I will when needed, double/single hand overhead cast but primarily spey. The water that I'm targeting is large lakes, distance an...

Wise words, I'll take my time and 'play with it' :evil: . Will make sure that the set-up is ready for next year's winter stillwater trout season. When I have the line correct I'll be able to finalise the rod, fittings and all the paraphernalia. Some work to do still. Then I will embark on the next p...

Yeh,Yeh, Correct, just easier when you know the single handed trade and now you know that you need to peg some variables to have some starting point, otherwise I'll be going in circles. Not that I'm trying to invent the wheel for goodness sake. However, I will not give up. I will have a 2wt switch r...

Hi Paul, Exactly what I'm trying to avoid. I'll go the trial and error route and learn from the experience. My only concern is that I need a correct starting point (eliminate some variables), meaning that I adapt my line to compensate for my lack of spey casting. I thought the line would be a good v...

Thank you gentlemen,

Hey Lasse, Interesting, what length rod do you use? I have read all the internet information regarding matching the correct line weight with the rod. I'm about to use an old 7 wt floater for the job. The line grain recommended for the 2wt Spey/switch is about 13.7 grams. However I am still not clear...

I cannot seem to find 190-215 weights in the Wulff ambush. Any link that I can follow as it is not on their web page

Thank you so much, I'll have a look. Hopefully if solves my problem

Afternoon Craig, Agree, not a bad rod, sold mostly in South Africa and used plenty buy our guides in the Seychelles and Madagascar. Remember that I have converted a traditional 5wt to a switch rod. This would be the equivalent of a 2wt in spey/switch terms. I do think the 240 grains will be to heavy...
