I did a fair amount of research before deciding to go ahead with my purchases. Having purchased the Micro Spey Rod rated 6/7 - the matching line came FREE! Who else does that! The line arrived in two days and was soon out of the box and fitted to my (Abel Super #7) fly reel, still retaining space for 100yds of backing - it's always nice to have a little in reserve! James (Cadence team) was really helpful, with him answering various (technical) questions about line weights, and rod loading, when fishing small to medium size rivers. etc. I've used the line on several occasions and I'm delighted with how well-balanced it is with the Micro Spey 6/7 rod, The line is simply amazing! A big thank you to James.
I have an 11' 6" #5/6 Loop NXT Switch rod that I have been struggling to find a line for. Most Switch lines seem to be a little too short or "clunky", or they do not come in such a light line weight. I wanted an integrated line because in the low water summer conditions I use the rod for, I sometimes like to inch a fly back or impart a bit more speed, and not having a connection gives me far more options.
Anyway, I decided to give the Microspey line a go, and what a line it is. For really low water, I much prefer a scandi style long tapered mono leader of some 15' and I have to say, the line preformed straight out of the box. I was able to make decent casts with very little splash from the leader on the setup, and it unrolled beautifully. It really does excel with the slightly longer rod and I am looking forward to using it for Sea Trout as well, later in the year.
I have not used polyleaders on it yet, but I reckon a slow sink 5' poly will be perfect.
I really do think this is going to become my go to summer grilse outfit!
Awesome line and a joy to cast.
I was totally impressed with the way you researched my rod characteristics and recommended the ideal line. It wass posted that same night and arrived a couple of days later.
The line casts beautifully and simply feels high quality
Thank you Martine !
Have not had a chance to actually fish with it yet but buy the nice slick finish and trial casts on the lawn would appear to be good product and value , now just awaiting biblical rain ______
