DR,
I am gonna guess and say you were replying to my question even though when I clicked the "in reply to.." it took me back to your original start of this thread..
I guess what I am really asking is is there a line I can use on my shakespeare or sage rod that is weighted to give more distance and is more affective against the wind..
from what I read on the windcutter II.. it sounds like a line that would give me both..
but I could be mistaken on that.. lol..
ya'll know that when I do go fishing I use everything that I think will work.. mainly nymphs.. but also poppers and the occassional clouser or terrestrial.. I dont use very many drys.. so I am not too worried about them.. I will use dropper flies if the mood hits me right.. lol..
the reason I think a line like the windcutter will work on my shakespeare is that is rod has a "heavier" action than my sage..
I understand on the spools for a given reel.. I have a rio floating line as my main line.. and an orvis type II (I think) sinking line as my other line on my rocky mountain turbine reel.. Id gladly buy a line.. and some extra spare spools if I knew they would work for me..
btw.. I also have a 6 wt dt that I bought for a different idea I had and have never used.. was thinking of putting that one on my shakespeares reel just as the everyday line to use with it.. any thoughts on that thought.. :-) ??
almost forgot.. I am also looking at the tfo mini magnum rod with my turbine reel to use out of a float tube (its only 8' long).. maybe with the floating wf6f line.. or a windcutter type line.. any thoughts on this one ??
