SAGE XP 10' 8wt. 4pc. Line recomendations

[Mr T]

Thanks everyone,
I should have been more specific in my original post.

I have been using this rod for indicator fishing, surf casting with shooting heads, and stripper fishing.
Even with a few older Out Bound Short integrated SH lines in 8wt. the rod loads kind of weak. and fish better off my 7wt. When surf casting with at SH and mono running line, I believe I am throwing 360 grains. I have a hard time getting the head to straighten out at the end of the cast. I am hesitant to overline too much or cut down another head trying to figure out the right wt.
Thanks,
J Ice

Throwing a shooting head is not the same as a full line, if the head doesnt straighten out for you it could be casting and not the line rod combination


you say: Even with a few older Out Bound Short integrated SH lines in 8wt. the rod loads kind of weak. and fish better off my 7wt

but that would point to the rod being OVERloaded.
