Since you already have the 348 grain and wanted to go lighter, yes you can use 7wt Ambush. I have casted well even with 6wt Ambush but you will need to work harder to flex the rod.Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-88000366106763914532014-02-14T14:11:39.257-08:002014-02-14T14:11:39.257-08:00I am getting a 4wt as well for my lake fishing and...I am getting a 4wt as well for my lake fishing and planning to get the 7wt Ambush with 15ft polyleaders to compensate the 265 grain. <br />Do you think this will work? <br />I have a custom cut line in 348 for bigger beefier flies.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451753739352408993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-59424662765726078902013-05-30T02:47:46.574-07:002013-05-30T02:47:46.574-07:00Thanks for the advice I really appreciate itThanks for the advice I really appreciate itNeilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-27012191956213317212013-05-29T00:06:32.842-07:002013-05-29T00:06:32.842-07:00Oh...the Lamson Speedster model I use is #3.5Oh...the Lamson Speedster model I use is #3.5Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-19704107827341480472013-05-29T00:04:00.703-07:002013-05-29T00:04:00.703-07:00Hi Neil, the 7wt Ambush line is only 265 grain.

So if you like to go light and do not need to turn over heavy flies of sink tips, then go with Ambush 8wt (290 grain). <br /><br />I like to use the 350 grain for tight quarter fishing when I have restricted room for a full D-Loop....or when I am casting heavy / bulky flies.Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-90081182878902406982013-05-28T08:36:20.647-07:002013-05-28T08:36:20.647-07:00Thanks for the article.

The wulff line sounds a good option but I would have thought a 7wt would be the right match which is lighter than 350 I think.<br />Any help appreciated.<br />Also what Speedster model is it as it looks a great outfit?<br />Thanks<br />NeilNeilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-9240832709504244112013-03-22T02:24:30.762-07:002013-03-22T02:24:30.762-07:00Hi Michael, It can be an issue in thin water. In s...Hi Michael, It can be an issue in thin water. In such situation, do the wiggle roll cast. It helps to minimize the ripping and can get good distance as well, especially with Charlie. A wiggle roll cast does not require you to dump and rip the line. You can go to the label section of my blog and click on "wiggle roll cast" to jump directly to the relevant post.<br />Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-43781199383854634852013-03-21T03:43:50.857-07:002013-03-21T03:43:50.857-07:00Thanks for the update.

I'm concerned about the "rip sound" off the water with Spey casting to spooky bonefish. Was that an issue? Can't wait to try Spey on the flats.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119132770802955697noreply@blogger.com
