Does anybody know the functional difference between the regular WF 444 line

IIRC, the lazerline has a harder, slicker coating and the line is
stiffer so it will shoot better than the standard 444. The old peach
line has its qualities but when it's warm, it has a 'stickiness' that
doesn't promote shooting. It's also very supple and that doesn't help
with big fly turnover.


I think the 444 floats better.
