Eddie,
Pleased you liked it
I will need the lines tomorrow on the Spey but if you want to pick them up to use until the end of the week then I will bring the reels into the shop on Thursday.
We have had samples since May, profiles are superb but we are not happy with the running line yet. Original RL was too soft and had a tendency to tangle when shooting large amounts, particularly when wading in funky currents.
There are two samples to test, the one you used yesterday which is a 40g head on a single strand mono core, this should be 43g as it is supposed to be the 10/11 line. The 9/10 line that really suits the 14' DTX is 39g, this line is slightly shorter in the head and although the profile is perfect, there are issues with running line hence I did not give you that to use. This line is absolute perfection on your rod but I know the RL is duff so was pointless giving it to you. The mono line has a head longerthan intended for the 14' rod.
I have another sample of the 10/11 line on standard core wth a tweaked coating which is slightly stiffer than
the standard coatings that I would like you to try, this will need to be used on a 15' rod really.
If possible, could you try them when wading and deliberately manage the RL badly to see what happens?
In the process of the above, please look after the "bling" reel......
Cheers
Ben
