The Scott ARC Double-Handed Rods are sup...Hi Anon,<br /><br />The Scott ARC Double-Handed Rods are superb sticks. They seem to cast best for most folks with a mid-belly line (65-foot head). <br /><br />There are certainly a lot of great lines to choose from. If you are a resident of the U.K., I would check out the Carron Jetstream (made in Scotland) -- it is probably the nicest mid-belly line that I've ever cast.<br /><br />The Guideline Bill Drury Impact (made in the U.K.) is designed in the Spey Valley and another excellent mid-belly option. I fish this line a lot.<br /><br />I would also investigate the new DTX lines from Scott McKenzie -- designed in the Ness Valley. Superb lines from the greatest Spey caster of all time.<br /><br />I would think you might want around 650 grains for your Scott 1509. I would test cast lines before you buy -- I like a light load on my rods, but many do not.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Topher BrowneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005965666877496170.post-19568378176452155312009-12-13T16:16:08.400-05:002009-12-13T16:16:08.400-05:00el pascador i fish a 15ft 9wt on the spey in scotl...el pascador i fish a 15ft 9wt on the spey in scotland.
