These particular lines are predominately focused on key Pacific Northwest 7 and 8wt spey sizes but for those looking for the same type of setup on a 9wt, the new GameChanger Body at 650gr with a RIO 15' InTouch Replacement Tip S3 is a good similar setup for 9wt spey rods. The key for the tip is, whatever density the GamChanger Body ends with at the head, you want to go equal or heavier than that on the replacement tip. So if you choose gamechanger ending in S3, go S3, S6, or S8 on the tip. If you have one ending in S5, go S6 or S8 on the tip. But for a 9140 IGNITER, you want to be more in the 650gr range, as 600gr is a little too light.
So to my 650 grain skagit I must add a 15 ft tip with a density equal to or greater than that of the end of the skagit. Did I understand correctly? What difference are between pickpocket y gamechanger? Thnks you
@@viruspepe You have that correct! equal to or great to the density at the end of the "or "body" in the case of gamechanger. Difference between the pickpocket and gamechanger is the gamechanger designed as a spey body, meaning in order to have it turnover correctly, this needs the correct length tip extension (15' replacement tip on 14' rod), as it's very rear loaded body. The pickpocket is more even weighted and shorter, which mean it's mainly for sub 14' rods. But to get something that works with a 9wt and 14" rod, the "body" tip combination needs to be longer. Otherwise it'll constantly cause one to blow their anchor when too short. The other difference is the pickpocket is for Skagit only, while the gamechanger can be configured as either scandi or skagit, depending on the tip configuration and application.
Finally. I talked with Marlin about this years ago.
Thanks!
Hello. For a 9140 igniter Sage rod, what weight is the best? Thanks you
