Friends:
I started a new post because my last one started to stray into different topics.
My quandary now is fly lines for Spey Rods. I have two spey rod blanks I am tying up for a trip to Alaska this summer. Handles are now attached and I need to place and roll the guides.
The 13' blank says (on the blank) it is rated for an 8/9. the 15' blank says its rated for a 10/11. Both are Rainshadow blanks.
This is my first foray into Spey Rods (aside from an experience 50 years ago, from which I remember little), however I am no stranger to fly fishing with what I have recently learned are called "one-handed" rods. Now I learn that I should be looking at Scandi or Skagit lines.
OK, I'll bite, but how do I cross reference the standard AFTMA fly line weights to one of these other line types?
Thanks in advance!
