I've been fishing for years with dispensable factory outlet junk lines.
Now I want something good.

What would be a good WF 3?


I try to buy double tapers whenever possible (they're sometimes
hard to find). They work fine for me, and you can turn them
around and fish the other side of the line, thereby doubling
the line life. Weight forward lines (at least for small trout
stream rigs) where a conspiracy--by the line manufacturers--to
sell more lines.


One of the best examples of how the industry is f***ing up the sport in
order to sell more stuff is the line manufacturers' screwing with line
weights (i.e., producing lines whose first 30 ft is not standard). A
very good summary was put together by Chuck Stranahan (Caddis Variant)
in his posts on this thread on the VFS forum:
