    Default TFO Deer Creek 4/5 spey

    New to the two handed game.

    I am thinking a 320 grain scandi head, and a full sinking MOW tip and a 50/50 MOW tip.

    please, feel free to help a brother out.

    Various 10' Poly/Versi leaders would be a better match for the scandi head.

    That mow tip on a scandi head will hinge very bad. I would reccomend either a skagit head or get the new airflo rage for that rod.

    Thanks guys,

    After further reading... Without the ability to test a few lines, it might be trial and error on grain wt for a scandi head.

    the Beulah elixer scandi lines are 245 grains....and I read someplace that 260-300 is the sweet spot (in the writters opinion),

    I have the TFO DC 1104. For tips I like a Rio Skagit Short at 375. For poly leaders I like a Steelhead Scandi at 350.
    Fishing is always good, the catching may not be.

    The new Airflo "Rage" head is a good new line that is kind of between and Skagit and a Scandi.

    Not as clunky as a Skagit and more positive than a Scandi.
