I just picked up an OPST Smooth 200 grain integrated line to throw on my 11ft 4wt “nymphing rod” to do some singlehanded Skagit casting to swing streamers. I’m all rigged up and about to go give it a test drive down on the skuke by my house with some clousers and bunny leeches.
I have high hopes for the setup as most light switch or trout Spey setups are pretty similar. I think this particular rod (cabelas czn) will have a good action for this style of casting and fishing without breaking the bank for a dedicated two-hander (for now)- from what I’ve read this should at least be a good starting point to get into some new techniques and expand my options while out on the water.
I plan on reporting to you all on how it works out. I’ve been utilizing different types of Spey casts on my single handers now for years, but finally decided to grab a purpose built line for it - I’m pumped to try it out! Wish me luck!
