Hey Everybody,
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Ballistic Vector XL series spey lines. I am going to purchase a new dry line for my summer rod this season. I'm currently fishing a CND Black Spey 12' 6" 5/6/7 with a SA Spey Evolution (420gr for 49'). The SA line seems a little light for this rod. It only casts well when the rod is floored and all the timing is perfect, which is fun for casting practice but not so practical as a fishing tool.
I believe I read somewhere that these lines are supposed to be a cross between a GPS and Godshall taper…sounds too good to be true! Anyone cast these lines? How do they compare to a Fall Favorite 55? How do they compare to a SA Spey Evolution? The 5/6 XL looks like it might be the ticket for taking advantage of the deep flex of the Black Spey.
Cheers,
Jason
