I’m looking at the 600gr head for my 8133. A 30’ long skagit head is very interesting for big river hits. And they also have the F1 configuration that I like so much. In that grain weight the Zone is 26’. I’m not sure how long the coastal is, I don’t see it listed on the site. I fished a WA45 with 15’ rio tips about 50% of the time last year and an older rio skagit the other 50%. If I could meet in the middle I’d be happy to stick to one head and then I could fish whatever fly strikes my fancy without changing heads and adjusting casting mechanics. Once upon a time I use to fish an Airflo Rage with tips up to 100gr or so on my 7126, a 570gr rage is 31’ and has more taper than the CORE30. Might also be interesting.
I just want to make long stable, easy going casts when I need it, and I want to be able to fish a 4” sparse rabbit strip leech with a cone head without changing heads. I have ample casting room and easy wades in these scenarios. This isn’t my high bank stick.
