What would you recommend for a "moderate action" rod like the 3 Forks?



The Scientific Anglers "Concept" is a nice casting line which sells for
under $20.
It's a 60 ft. line, where most lines are 90 ft.,
if that makes a difference to you. (If you're a beginning caster, it
won't make any difference for years, trust me.)


I sort of disagree with this, as you can learn to cast greater than 60'
with-in two years.
It depends on the individual and how much time they spend practicing. their
casting skills.
I've seen some fly-casters throwing nice loops of 70' in a year.

Seems logical to stay with the Prestige Plus Line, oh btw, I looked up the
line in my Cabela's catalog
last night, it's good enough. Also I would get some line-cleaner. A dirty
line becomes abrasive and will eventually wear out the guides on your
fly-rod, especially the tip. It's good to keep any casting line clean.
fwiw,
