Re: Skagit line for Beulah 7/8 10.5' switch rod.

Skagit lines on switch rods rock. I use the 27' Rio lines and add 10 ft sinktips. You could cut back the Rio head if you wanted to use a longer sinktip or buy a compact Skagit line. Remember, the sinktip length is part of the 3-3.5 ratio but the weight of the sinktip doesn't count because it is not part of the D-loop. I would advise a line at the high end of the grain window for heavy sinktip work.
