I think 350 - 400 grain is OK. For reel, I like the Lamson Speedster 3.5 on this rod.Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-4259690603534125342016-06-01T00:54:22.290-07:002016-06-01T00:54:22.290-07:00Hi,

Could you answer what is proper weight or weight range of shooting head for two-handed overhead casting? And what reel weight will be balancing well the rod? <br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-90095366127728545272016-05-09T18:26:11.329-07:002016-05-09T18:26:11.329-07:00For TiCrX 6wt, 400 grain Ambush is good for D-loop...For TiCrX 6wt, 400 grain Ambush is good for D-loop cast but I would size down (300 - 350 grain) if I want to primarily overhead cast. RIO Outbound is a good overhead casting line but if you want to do both D-loop and overhead cast with the same set up, stick with Ambush since Outbound is not good for D-loop casting.<br /><br />Thanks for liking my blog :)Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-29510120000728646402016-05-09T11:44:13.091-07:002016-05-09T11:44:13.091-07:00w/the 6wt ticrx---are you using the 400 grain ambu...w/the 6wt ticrx---are you using the 400 grain ambush for both overhead and D-loop?<br />if not which OH lines have you tried?<br /><br />thanks so much---this blog is a treasure of infoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-25660636869611100982016-04-24T19:28:59.780-07:002016-04-24T19:28:59.780-07:00The TiCrX conversion is very different animal comp...The TiCrX conversion is very different animal compared to the DC 4wt switch. The DC will flex all the way to the lower 1/3 of the rod whereas the TiCrX conv has a very very stiff butt. Remember...the TiCrX conv was created to pair with 7wt and 8wt TiCrX. So if you put the 5wt TiCrX on it, all the flexing only happens at the upper 1/3.<br /><br />For 2-handed overhead casting, TiCrX conv is better...DC is a bit too soft for that. With D-loop casting, the TiCrX conv with 5wt will give you very good tight loop and will arguably cast further than the DC. However, the DC 4wt is a more enjoyable rod to fish with since it will give you a nice flex with a fish on. It is also plenty strong at the butt and can handle very big fish.<br /><br />When I was testing out the TiCrX conv 5wt in Maldives, I found myself loosing too many fish after hook up. I suspect it is because the rod is not flexing proportionately down far enough to even out the power. I think the TiCrX 6wt with conv would have been better a better match.Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-11746496121735236982016-04-24T05:32:53.520-07:002016-04-24T05:32:53.520-07:00could you please compare and contrast the
