Lines For Deer Creek 1108 Switch Rod

[Kaveman]

Just wondering what is the best fly/spey line to match up for the Deercreek 1108 switch rod

[maxwell]

the magic number for a similar switch rod i fish is in teh 300 - 340 grain window.. a compact scandi head would be great! or a skagit short if u want too turn over larger streamers and tips.. what are you plannin on using the rod for would be the biggest question?

Rio's recommendations for your rod are:

Skagit - 475 grains

AFS - 7/8

Windcutter - 7/8/9 or 8/9/10

 

Since those are Simon Gawesworth's preferences you might find you prefer something a little heavier. Depends on your ability as well as how deep a load you like. If you want to go with a skagit I'd suggest borrowing an Airflo Compact Skagit kit, then starting with the 480 grain head, see how you like it, then try one size heavier and one lighter.
