line for le cie

Need some scandi type line recommendation for Gudeline Le Cie 13'7" #7.
Are there any Spey Page sponsors who deal the Guideline power taper lines?
Thanks.

How you get the line out and fishing is personal preference so as long as it works and is easy no one should care but the caster. MSB

line

Picked up this stick a few months ago. Love it. A beast when lined with a 500 -525gr scandi head. Airflo or any other manufacture. Poppy can help u out. I got recommendations from some credible guys on this site that use Guideline quite a bit. Enjoy.

On the LeCie rod you have the rec weight is on the heads 24-26 grams, 370-400 grains. You can go with a 8/9 line and cut it to the prefered weight and you will end up with a line around 10.3 meters. If you want longer line just go with a 7/8 line and that one will be around 11.7 meters. I can say these rods love the 3D lines. Good luck!

I use 450 grain Scandi on the 13'7" 8/9. They are great rods. Dave

Your casting style and personal taste will dictate final length & weight preference.

thegrappler has it right in his posting.

Best option is to trial different [any brand within tolerence zone] heads on it before purchase of your new set. Helps to zero in the feel your looking for.

Dave, I almost didn't catch the 8/9 part. I have same rod also, great piece of equipment.. so light in hand.

Don't overline it. I have the 13' 7" 7/8 and happily use the AFS Outbound 6/7 on it. The Guideline website will have recommendations for cutting shooting heads.

I like the Airflo Deltas 7/8 multitips and the Ian Gordon short intermediate.
For scandi heads I go with 400 grains. My most loved combo is a Delta long head
looped to a Flat Beam running line.

If you are going to do mostly air-born casts use the Power Taper line that is recommended for your rod on the Guideline website. If you are going to do water-born casts mostly, and prefer a fuller load, then go one line weight up. An excellent line that will do both very well is the DDC connect multi-tip line. Use the weight that is recommend for your rod on the Guideline web site. Cheers,
