Boo line ?

[Tarponjim]

I use the same DT lines on my bamboo that I use on my graphites (sage LL's). Orvis DT-4's. One thing I do on a couple of my bamboos is under-line them by one. I have a 5 weight that casts better for me with a 4. but my other 4-wts work best with a matched 4. A lot depends on the taper of the rod. Some are not as soft as people think of bamboo being. I like the Payne 100 for a softie, and my Dickerson 7613 to cast larger waters, or in the wind, and for a little distance. The 7613 is a 5 weight, but casts best for me with a DT 4.

I'd try your rod with 2 or 3 different line weights.
