In Topic: 6 wt Fetha Styx

Ambush lines are great for single hand & switch applications. Really shines when you don't have much room for a back cast. I use an Ambush for a light switch setup (skagit style casts) & can toss it out there pretty good, even though the line is a bit light for my rod (generally 2-3 line sizes up for switch/spey applications is recommended).

 

In the summer, I use it for single hand 6wt spey style casting. Great for touch and go streamer fishing looking for big fish as I can single hand spey cast it as far as a few double hauls. Haven't done much dry fly fishing with it as it's not as delicate as classic double tapers.

 

Probably not the line for everyone but I have a shoulder problem & it really helps take some of the strain off my casting shoulder by allowing me to spey cast/roll cast to good distances with not much effort. Oh yeah, you can bomb it out there with a regular fly cast as well! Awesome lines!
