I built an an 11ft 6wt for a guy from Canada that uses it on Great Lakes trib’s. It has a load window of 350 to about 500 grains, when I was playing around with it, I put a Cortland Short Belly Spey line on it, 6/7wt. It did roll and spey style casts very well. You could feel an even load all the way down into the blank. The reports I get from the owner, he loves it for swinging tube flies.

The DH11 is a very powerful and smooth blank. The grain window is spot on. A 425gr scandi head is money for me. I also enjoyed throwing a 375gr Skagit short head.
