I will agree with other sentiments that 480 grains seems pretty heavy for that rod. I have the Deer Creek switch rod in that weight, and casting a 390 grain Rage is plenty (mostly use the 390 Rage on a 12'6" 6wt CPX). Even with the extra bit of length of the spey, I can't see another 90 grains working very well for my tastes. 420 grains seems pretty sweet, and I'd bet that even a bit lighter would work well too. The Rage is a great line, and versatile. Money spent on getting the right weight line will be very well spent, you'll be doing lots and lots of casts with it...
