I have a big ol‘ Thomas & Thomas 3 piece 16 ft 11 weight Spey rod. I bought it a few years ago and never got around to using it. Recently posted it for sale on another site but, no bites so I may as well line it up. It could be useful for Steelhead and Salmon on the Snake or Clearwater.
So what modern line would be a good fit? I’ve seen old posts recommending long belly Spey lines that had much higher grain weight than the modern Rio Intouch Long Head Spey. Some of the older 11 wt lines were up to 1500 gr compared with Rio’s 10/11 which is only 840 gr. I don’t want to waste 130 bucks on the Rio line if it’s too light. Any advice?
