have a RIO Scandi Short 240gr. If still looking $55.00. Hasn’t been used much due to the fact I don’t use the rod I bought it for much, so still in like new condition.
Make sure you are able to cast properly and with some distance. You want to be as prepared as possible for a trip like you're doing. Presentation is everything!
I'm using t8 and t11 with my 450gr skagit setup and polyleaders with my 285gr scandi. I like to use streamers such as sculpins, muddler variations and leaches with skagit, and classics such as soft hackles with my scandi.
I fish the bow with a spey or switch 90% of the time. I believe you can't compare to the aggressive strike of a fly on the swing. I also love the delicate roll out of a snake roll or single spey.
The other 10% of the time I am nymphing and searching for snouts.
I was just wondering cause I just purchased a Hardy Zenith 4wt and was thinking of matching it with that reel because of the weight. I need a little drag cause I don't want a bow river brown breaking off because the lack there of.
