Yeh... So ima use my first combo, which was an inspinity (made by shakespear). Line wt is 8-14. 7ft length, medium action, and the reel is 5.2 or 5.3 to 1. Currently have it on 17 lb siege cause I don't have any other mainline line at the moment, but a small leader should do the trick I think.I just keep a very concise, accurate, up-to-date fishing log book. I record everything form water/air temp., atmospheric pressure, overhead weather conditions, water color, clarity, and relative height, along with rigging, down to swivel size, exact weight, and what the rig consisted of. I.E. hook type/size, and color even, to what type of leader material used. Everything you could possibly think of that is of any relation, or not to fishing, gets logged. That is where i can get all these precise percentages, and ratios. Simple, simple stuff though, and it makes anyone a more productive angler.
No, drift fishing for Steel with an Amb, and a 15-20 is not going to make life easy with light weight rigs. I have been usin a 6'6" 6-12 spinning setup with my broken self, 10-12 lb. mainline, and 8-10 lb leaders. It has worked a legit 10 pound fish to the bank too, close to 40 inches in length. So I'm sure you have something that can handle the brat stock Steel.
So after this thread got completely convoluted... Chris, you fomulate a river plan? Still hittin the Wilson? What type of fishing are you going to be doing? ....
But if you can't get some right away due to lack of allowance, or just getting home from an expensive vacation, the line you have will work for the next trip you take if it's soon. Dont let that keep ya off the water! The flows are heavy and off color right now, and your main being on the heavy side probably wont hurt. As far as a quality of the line I can not attest to. Whattcha got fer leader? Or did I miss you post that?
