    doubt that the rod is too wimpy though I have not cast a Beulah for quite awhile - but you might actually be too light - based on recommendations on the Kiene Spey site 375 is the lightest they suggest.

    I have an old single hand 10' 7 wt Fischer that I converted to a switch that I am sure has a softer tip than the Beulah and it absolutely launches a 375 RIO short with T8 MOW tips

    Again, thanks for all the advice.
    I guess that I am an intermediate caster with the switch rod, I cast my speyrod with a skagit much better.
    I have taken a winter speyrod/skagit lesson with Jason Hartwick a few years ago and it helped immensely.
    I think that more grains or another skagit line would be a solution, and if that dose not work, I guess that I will get some more lessons.
