I built a 6wt rod and it has a slower action. In fact it throws a 5wt

rods but wasn't sure about double taper line.

Yes there are lines that compliment slower rods better, Some you might
want to look at are the Rio Selective trout II (not sure if it is
shipping yet), The SA Mastery trout tapers or SA XPS lines, the
Cortland Classic 444, or the Classic Slyk. Another line that would be
worth trying on that blank is Wulff LB 6wf. It's kind of a hybrid wf/
dt line and seems to work really well on slower rods.


I second the Cortland 444 DT5F - Peach
