I'm building an IM8 12' 5/6 and believe the mid-range grain weight to be ~375. I'm hoping to get some advice on a Rio line that might cross-over well between the following:
1. Overhead or roll-casting for LCT at Pyramid Lake; need to be able to throw 10-15' sink tip while being able to strip the line all the way to the tip. That means an integrated running line.
2. Swinging for summer steelhead in medium sized water.
Does anyone have experience with an Outbound Short on a 12' rod? Within the Rio lineup it seems like it's the OBS, 5wt In-touch trout spey (@350gr. and add tips per application), In-touch skagit trout spey (@375gr. + tips), or just use a WF single hand line three sizes up. Any feedback on any of these options would be great.
