Greetings,
I had a Salmon/Steelhead fly line put on by 10wt reel by Orvis on Wednesday
and when I cast it yesterday, I noticed there is a knot under the coating
about 35' in from the tip of the line. I could feel a lump under the
coating when I use my line hand. At first I thought it was just the
coating, but the coating looks fine. I pulled on the line a bit to try to
stretch it out, but no luck. Would this be a defected line? It bothers me
in a sense that it's right where my line hand touches.
Advice? take it back to Orvis?

Since the "weight" of a fly line corresponds to optimal loading of a rod
of similar "weight" with 30 ft of the line out, Orvis has introduced
this marker to let you know when in fact you have enough line out to
load the rod properly.
















No, just kidding. Send it back.
