7wt or 8wt?
#21
Now I am Confused. They make Grain line in sinking and in floating. I use a 230 grain Sage floating on my 6 wt and 8 wt for Carp.
But I use a 300 and a 350 Depth Charge and KG Streamer line that is 70 feet of intermediate line into 30 feet of the grain weighted. For a 6 wt. 250 to 300 grain is recommended, but I prefer the 350, but I too use deep 7.

Again, I thought big rods were for big flies, cause I am using a 6 wt to land 36" trout and Carp but I am using small flies. When I use the Butt Monkey or Sex Dungeon, 6 can work, but an eight is nicer.
Never thought of heavy rods for getting down deep fast, cause you can do that with any weight rod. Sorry if I miss read your reply.
