That’s a big stick you have. Rio website has a line finder that you can put the rod info into and they give you recommendations. Most Spey rods have a range. Regan who post here may also be able to help.

What are you interested in doing with the rod?

I would give a 600-650 scandi, you might also like a scandi long and a 700-750 skagit long a whirl. A balletic vector 10-11 would be a nice mid belly, if you need that king of line.

Thats an awful lot of rod for anything I can imagine fishing for although i know they like the big rods in europe.  I use skagit and scandi heads for my spey rods, but I am under the impression that long belly lines are more the norm for rods that size.

It is, but at 165 bucks you cant beat that for a loop. i was thinking of the Potomac and at some point taking it to the cape cod canal for stripers
