Also, I haven't used the ghost tip version of the 555, plus/minuses?


In that case, keep the front taper fairly short. I've always liked
the SA Ultra4 and the previous Ultra3 lines. I'd also think about a
bassbug taper -- makes for a great nymphing line and won't have any
trouble with big dries.

Hey Peter!!

So what's the logic of keep the the taper short? I really draw a blank with
it (which is why I asked), so just curious.

Is that a good taper for streamers also?
