15 pound line could reel you in a shark lol but maybe your right I use 8 pound line which would bring in a 30 pound fish no problem if played right . Nice rod I use a a fly rod with fighting butt 11½ feet no point in changing her not unless it's 12 or 13 foot long I'm changing to
15 lb tippet never let me down especially during high water, if a fish decides to go bolting down river I have that extra line strength needed to get it back up against the current. Hope that makes sense bud!
Really, yeah you should have held onto it. A friend had the 7/8 version and gave me a cast off it..... it cast like a dream for sea trout. What outfit have you now?
@@GoneFishingNow Using a guideline exceed now in 11ft 7/8 with a switch multi tip line, it's a handy set up comes with a float intermediate and sink3 option, all it's missing is a fish this season.
That sounds like a great setup. Yes alot of anglers are having a bad salmon season this year on account of low water levels. Hopefully that rain comes soon.
Thanks for the video direct to the point ....can u tell what the best way to set the hook for salmon fishing.. Also u mentioned about leader should be less thsn 3 feet ...is it all 15 p one piece no tapering leader...how long is the sinking tip should be ..thanks
The key to setting the hook when salmon fishing is not to strike immediately, wait for 2 seconds after you feel the line gently being taken then tighten up into the fish. This allows the fish to turn around after taking the fly. The sinking tip is typically anywhere from 9ft to 12ft, no tapered leader is required and its straight 15pound fluorocarbon/mono. I hope this info helps.
Hi there, I got that line some time ago from a friend. I'm sure its a snowbee line (intermediate sink shooting head) mainline floating. Hope this helps
Did you say the line is called a switch line. So if i was to look on say Rio or Airflo websites which equivalent would it be and what is it called? Spey line or something else?

I used to have the same rod in a 7/8, lovely feel and bends down to the handle, i was sickened i ever sold it.
