I had fun with the OPST integrated lines for a season

John,

Thanks a ton for the info! Should I be concerned about the stripping of the loop to loop through the guides or am I not getting that far into the head when stripping for shad?

Thanks,

Jake

James,

I would be looking at skagit short head about 20' and about 450 grains.

 See if you can try a couple weighted heads between about 425-475 grains.   That might bring you back to a head, instead of an integrated line. But SA has a 420 integrated that might work if you want one package.

Jake,

What is the length of the head on that line you are considering?

Already looking forward to the shad run next spring.

I got my hands on a Winston Nimbus 11'9" 6wt Spey Rod and I'm looking at skagit heads. 

I know its kind of a feel thing but I'm considering an integrated head and running line. At the moment a SA Spey Lite Skagit integrated 360gr.

Any recommendations/thoughts?
