I was fishing Hood Canal Wednesday morning and wanted to fish my SA Mastery Series Uniform Sink + (WF6S, type 5) on my 690 Ion XL. If I'm getting the right information from the internet, this line is 210 grains with front and rear bellys (heads?) of 7' and 27'. I was trying for distance and wanting the line to swing as we fished from a boat idling parallel to the shoreline. Eventually I switched to a Rio CoastalQuickshooter WF6I - that line works so much better at loading the rod than the SA. What am I missing, in terms of load the rod, with the SA compared to the CQS?
As it turned out, the Rio CQS was every bit as effective at getting bit as my friend who was fishing his type V.
