Hiya newfie ...

My preferences for Atlantics on a 8wt 10ft Sage XP is the SA Steelhead taper. It mends well and the long belly helps 'cause I roll cast a lot.

Second the WF Ridgeline which I prefer on my Loomis rods. It's "lighter" than the SA and I like the way it loads.

The jury is still out on the SA Sharkskin. I really like it on the 6wts, but I will try one on the salmon rods this weekend.
