My original question was very short, so let me elaborate a bit.

1. Practically everyone I know uses some sort of WF lines (or shooting
heads) in heavier gear.

2. The two rod manufacturers that I've checked (Sage, Winston)
recommend WF lines in heavier gear, either explicitly or
implicitly.

3. The DT versions of Scientific Anglers Mastery lines (GPS, XPS) are
not even available in weights over 6. They do have some 7 and 8
weight cheaper DT lines.

Personally I'm a DT fan, and I have a DT line even in my 10wt. On the
other hand, I can't cast very well with it... :-)


I like DTs for trout but in the heavier weights, I'm usually
interested in distance so it's strictly WF. Evem my spey lines are
WF. A DT won't shoot well if you need the distance.
