Thanks for the info/tip. Great Video!

[@michaeldeden7657]

What weight power spey line are you using on your 6wt?

[@Ryan-yp7zb]

I tried nymphing on my switch rod the other day with the rio switch chucker. I don't know... I'm not sure about it but something just doesn't seem right. I'll be practicing though. Cheers.

How did that line handle? What didn’t you like about it?

[@fryrot3249]

Seeing how those lines are no longer available, what current line would you recommend?

[@ashlandflyshop770]

RIO never replaced that line, although a similar one would be the InTouch Mid Head Spey Line. www.rioproducts.com/products/lines-heads/intouch-mid-head-spey

[@michaeldeden7657]

Rio has stop making the Power Spey Line what do you recommend now?

[@mudjerry]

Michael Deden you should try the Rio trout steelhead indicator line it's a 70 foot had that builds weight towards the rear I use it on my three weight Redington hydrogen switch rod and it double speys Nicely I use the 6wt line

Good video, after the line you use only a nylon tip? Or use polileader?

[@ashlandflyshop770]

For nymphing just go straight to a mono/nylon leader. 👍

Too bad he doesn’t know how to cast what he’s talking about.

[@707AR15]

That looks like a ton of effort, and doesn’t look like you’re having fun.

Bobber fishing is not fly fishing as well as an insult to a regal fish, the Steelhead.
