In fact the running line on the Ambush Clear is my favorite in the tropics because it is not too stiff as to pile up in my stripping basket, neither is it too limp. The diameter is just right also. However, if you intend to strip onto the deck of a boat which can get very hot, I suggest you throw a wet towel over the deck to strip onto.Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-73833603348853172022014-06-30T20:23:41.789-07:002014-06-30T20:23:41.789-07:00Mr Mah

However, it quickly caught on as one of the best line for shorter switch rods. You may say that Ambush line is a cross between traditional Skagit line and Scandi line (a.k.a Skandit line). When use as a Skagit line, choose the heavier grain Ambush to load the rod. When use as a Scandi, choose a lighter grain Ambush and pair with a long 15ft versileader + 10ft mono leader to get the ~4X rod length necessary for kiss n go type cast.<br />For your rod, I suggest you go with 350 grain Ambush so that you can do both Skagit and Scandi cast.Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-80016982926085594012014-06-19T20:03:53.052-07:002014-06-19T20:03:53.052-07:00When I first got the Sage 4116, I tried 300 grain ...When I first got the Sage 4116, I tried 300 grain Ambush on it. It cast OK but felt that I need to work harder to get the cast going. Typically I do Skagit type sustain anchor cast. With 350 grain, the rod feels good and effortless and I could launch Clouser better with 350 grain. I guess if you are going with Scandi type switch cast, its better to use 300 grain or lower.Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-2112481796362156752014-06-19T19:57:35.889-07:002014-06-19T19:57:35.889-07:00I could typically cover all my distance with spey ...I could typically cover all my distance with spey cast without resorting to overhead casting. There are exception of course. In my recent small stream fishing trip to Thailand ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFF4cz4ukXM )<br />, I sometimes resort to overhead cast when situation warrants it. Typically it is when I just need to drop my hopper fly right in front of me. With Ambush line, you can definitely overhead cast, just make sure that you use a grain weight suitable for the rod.Yuen, Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078173162831541702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390461152665374413.post-52099080160867111082014-06-19T19:46:28.440-07:002014-06-19T19:46:28.440-07:00Thanks Richard.
