roll cast is on a distinguished road
Default 6 weight di7

Anyone know if these can be bought off the shelve or should I make one from some lead core for a shooting head.

Thanks
AL

Think airflo do a sixth sense line that come's in a 6/7,but maybe a tad heavy for a #6 ( sportfish are selling the old ones for around £22 at the moment )

Got beat to it

The 6/7 weights are too heavy for a six weight if you put the full head of the line out

Default Di 7

Hello Rollcast

Rio deep 7 line can be easily cast with a 6wt.I have never studied the taper but the spec says can be cast with 5-8 rods.I have used it on 7wt and a fast 6wt.

Best JP

Most good graphite carbon rods should be able to handle it and you might find this link useful. Airflo Di7
