    Default Line recommendation for switch rod

    First time switch rod owner here. Sage z-axis 11' #6. I currently am running the Rio Switch 6/7 line on it and it works just fine for roll casting. I'm looking for something that I can swing/shoot with. I've kinda narrowed it down to either the Wulff Ambush or Airflo Rage Compact. How do the two compare?

    I've also see that Rio has a new line, the Switch Chucker. Anyone have any experience with that? I'm kinda thinking that it might be similar to the Ambush, but with a 14' rear taper that would allow me to mend. Thoughts? Thanks!

    Pretty spot on with your RIO Switch Chucker assessment. Aggressive taper that will turnover everything from tips to heavy nymph rigs but still mend. A great do it all line.

    Thanks for the feedback. Does the 14' of "handling section" mean that the Rio Chucker won't shoot line as well?

    The aggressive front taper more than makes up for it. Shoots really well.
