Just a line report:
I didn't have a chance to get a skagit line for a TFO 11' 6wt switcher, so I thought what do I have that might work. So after a little research, I found that my 10/11/12 WC has a body that is ~23 ft and weighs in at 378 grs. (Hey! That's a skagit short!) So I tried it with some tips and a leech pattern. It worked pretty well with about 12 ft of T-8 but really well with the WC 6/7/8 wt tips. Long story short, I may end up chopping the running line off of it to make it a head than can be looped it to my regular running line.
I think I'd still like to try a 400-450 27ft skagit head on the rod for comparison.
See ya,
Mike
