I have a Beulah 6/7 switch rod 10 ft 6 in and it has been a great rod for swinging a scandi line with this years low water conditions.
What a great rod and Beulah is a great company too, broke my tip a few weeks ago and sent it back and the turn around was 10 days!
When I got my rod back, I decided to try my skagit line with a T8 sink tip. My great casting with the scandi line turned into difficult and poor casting with the skagit/sink tip set up.
I think that the rod is a little short and not stout enough to throw the heavier skagit/tips.
Do I need a longer switch rod ?11 ft and maybe a 7 or 8 weight, or is it all because of my poor technique?
Which switch rod do you expert spey casters like for sink tip applications as the waters rise and get cold?
Any advice is appreciated.
