steelhead- I picked up a 9wt 40+ line last winter because of all the hype and I don't care for it. The head portion weighs in as a 11/12 wt which is too much for my 9 wt to handle. When tried on my 10 wt it still felt like I was casting a shooting head, but the weight was more manageable for me. The line really shoots well but the runnin g line is too thin to mend. I reminded me of using an spinning rod with the cast and retreive technique. If you'd like to buy mine I'll let it go for $30, I used it once and not for the entire night- after an hour I switched back to my SA saltwater line for its control. Ron
