I ended up getting the 6wt spey, found a great deal on a redington prospector.

Any one use a recommended line on the SR that had luck (distance cast) using it to double hand overhead cast

Tried the new Rio outbound short head clear intermediate one weight higher as a single hand but at 265gr is lower than the manufacturers recommendations on the 6wt Beulah Platinum SR

Quite impressed in the one load ability to shoot this line with one false cast better than any single hand I lined her up to
This will result in the sale of rods & reels in that class..........wow
