First off I would like to apologize for things that may sound stupid, don't know much about the world of spey lines...yet...
I wanted to get into single hand spey casting and needed help on shooting head grain weight for a single hand 7 wt rod. Rio recommend 475 grain for 7wt spey rods but I know single hand rods are different. Generally speaking the first 30 feet of the weight forward taper of 7wt line is around 200 grains, but I know my 30 ft teeny 250 sink tip is 250 grains so would that be about where I want my shooting head weight to be? And do I have to take into account that I will likely be fishing 10 or so feet of sink tip? Was looking into Rio Skagit Ishort heads if that helps. I hope this somewhat makes sense. Thanks!
