Has anyone here tried the Cortland 444 Sylk line?
It has a smaller dia. than most of the Double Taper lines on
the market. I was wondering how it cast, and since it's smaller
in dia, how it would rollcast.
thanks,

The Cortland 444 Sylk lines are nice because of the smaller diameter
(up to 2 line sizes). They are very fast because othey have low drag
so it takes some adjustments on the casters part. They are sticky
until you get them wet so casting one dry really sucks. These lines
work well with any type of rod, graphite, fiberglass, bamboo..... I
doubted them for years until I got one from my rep and used it. I use
mine on a 6 weight bamboo and 6 weight fiberglass and I'll keep using
it.I also casted this line on a graphite the other day and it worked
fine. JMHO
