If it's just for test casting, you can always just pick up a spool of 20-40lb mono fishing line and is it as a running line. Won't be quite the same as a purpose built running line but it will let you figure out which heads work best.

Thanks for the input. I have read that people actually use mono for running line. I just don't like the sounds of that. I would rather have a real running line. But anyway.....the reason for the question....
You are correct in perceiving that I just want running lines for testing and tinkering. But....I was not contemplating going out and buying 1wt and 2wt lines to test with. I was not proposing this as some great idea. I just happen to have about 4 of them laying around with no purpose for them. Thus the question would they work as running lines.
Thanks again for the input Joe.
