Rio Skagit Body and tips, new.
350 gr 120' with 27' head.

Rio Sink tips,

I purched these on a recomendation to discover they are a poor match.

That is about the right size Skagit line for a #5 line Spey rod.

Thanks for the information.
I strugled with this combination perhaps due to being new to spey casting. The rod seemed to strugle with the length and weight. I attended a casting demo by Bill Lowe and matched the setup he was using.
It was recomended to try The Airflo Ridge Floating R-line, Beulah Tonic Switch Shooting Head 410 gr 22.5' and Elixer 380gr 29' with a Rio Spey Versileader Kit 10'.

I have not tried this setup yet I can only hope it works.
