Running line, Shooting line? What The?

Since my fly line is taking a beating up there I'd like to switch over to a running line set up.  I read an article about a year ago about AirFlo Poly Shoot running line. (a) has anyone used this product? (b) where can it be purchased?  (c) are there any other lines that one can reccomend?
 
I more or less use the high sticking method when steel head fishing, my current fly line has the first ten feet cut off with various sections of leader matterial attached to a swivel which is then attaced to the tippet of my choice. Since the fly line is not cheap and I must replace it this season due to all the nicks and cuts from rocks, I'm considering Running Line.
Any info you can supply will be greatly appreciated,  Thanks

The rule of thumb is that if you want to use a spey rod and not a double taper , go with a WF line 1 size up. I currently use a 7wt WF on my 6wt 12' spey. Watch out using a running line,

Go w/ the mono setup--You can use less weight that way.

If you are you going to use a running line, why not use a spinning rod. The use of the running line at the DSR is basically for lining purposes. I see guys chuck large amounts of weight out where the weight propels the running line and fly. This is not fly fishing it is no different then spin fishing. Thus it is not allowed in the Fly only sections.

I agree some guys use lots of weight when fishing with fly lines - regardless of type of line.

I use running line with very little weight (or just a weighted fly) and have no problem "casting the line". Granted, you will not be able to cast 50-60feet with it, but IMO there is no need to do that on the Salmon River.

I'd much rather spend $20 to replace a straight taper running line after it gets nicked and scarred on the rocks. I like Cortland brand lines.

Those that are against the use of running line just perpetuate the misnomer that it is used as a lining tool.

Guns don't kill people, fishing lines don't line fish..

  My soul purpose for trying the running line setup is to minimize cost as well as the added weight needed to cast a fly line. This set-up will be put on my spare reel and of course I'll still carry my fly-line set up for the days when I am up in the Fly Stretch.
 
Fishing with spinning gear is not an option for me. Anyone can tie on 30lb test to land a fish! I prefer the experience, and the fight.  Landing that fish is just an added bonus.
 
thanks for the honest answers

 airflo polyshoot xt is a great product and provide one of the best casts for shooting head systems. they use a polyfuse coating that has super low friction, combined with a thin diameter, the line casts without much effort. if you don't plan on using it with a shooting head, it performs great for chuck & duck but lacks the ability to cast any distance on its own. lazer line is another product you might wanna check out. orvis has a nice runninng line, larger diameter compared to the other that i've just mentioned but is castable with a b shot.
